South Africa Lose De Zorzi for Rest of England ODIs After Hamstring Injury

Matthew Breetzke is set to step in at Lord's with no squad replacement named.

Overview

  • Cricket South Africa confirmed Tony de Zorzi suffered a left hamstring injury at Headingley and will return home for scans, ruling him out of the final two matches.
  • De Zorzi was hurt diving on the boundary to stop a Jos Buttler shot and left the field for treatment during the first ODI.
  • Matthew Breetzke has recovered from a recent hamstring tweak and is expected to rejoin the playing XI for the second ODI at Lord's.
  • Captain Temba Bavuma remains on a workload-management plan after a prior hamstring issue and could be rested for one of the remaining games.
  • South Africa lead the series 1-0 after a seven-wicket win in Leeds, where Keshav Maharaj took 4 for 22, Wiaan Mulder 3 for 33, and Aiden Markram scored 86, while Kagiso Rabada's immediate availability remains unclear.
