South Africa rope in replacements
De Zorzi has not progressed as expected in his rehabilitation from a right hamstring muscle tear sustained during the ODI series against India last month and will not be fit in time for the upcoming T20I series. As a result of his unavailability for the series and the need for continued rehabilitation, he will miss the upcoming marquee tournament in India and Sri Lanka. Ferreira, meanwhile, sustained a fracture of his left clavicle during a domestic T20 game in South Africa earlier this month.
In addition, David Miller suffered an adductor muscle injury on Monday while playing in South Africa's domestic T20 competition and will play no part in the T20I series. Cricket South Africa have confirmed that his availability for the T20 World Cup is subject to the outcome of a fitness test.
