World Cup 2023
Cricket fans across the world are currently waiting for the Cricket World Cup to be played in India. The teams for the World Cup have been decided. At the same time, there is always news about changes from the teams. Players on many teams get injured, so there is always room for change. The South African team has now released a big update. In fact, before the World Cup, there is a risk that two players from the African team will be excluded from the team.
Clouds of anger hang over these two players
The availability of South African cricket team fast bowlers Enrique Norkhia and Sisanda Magala will be determined after a fitness test this week. The two fast bowlers were named in South Africa’s initial 15-man squad for the World Cup but have played just one game each since then, in the recent 3-2 ODI series win over Australia. We tell you that Norkhia suffered a lower back injury while Magala suffered a left knee injury.
The decision will be made in a few days
According to a report from ESPN Cricinfo, a final decision on their inclusion will be made before South Africa leaves for India on September 23, with early indications that both are at risk of not traveling to the ODI World Cup. Team head coach Rob Walter said we want him on the team. It is difficult to include injured players in the team at the World Cup because you then have to give many reasons for exclusion.
Should either Norkhia or Magala be ruled out of the World Cup, South Africa will most likely include fast bowler Andile Phehlukwayo.
