The South Africa Women's cricket team suffered a second blow on their tour of England with right-arm pace bowler Tumi Sekhukhune ruled out due to the recurrence of a groin injury.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 23-year-old Sekhukhune will return home and is unlikely to be a part of the team's campaign in the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, beginning on July 29.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Veteran all-rounder Marizanne Kapp, after missing the first T20I, will miss the remainder of the series and she too is in doubt for the Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While a Cricket South Africa (CSA) statement did not disclose the matter, Kapp's wife and Proteas teammate Dane van Niekerk confirmed via social media that their brother-in-law had been involved in an accident that had left him in intensive care.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Batter Tazmin Brits has been called to the squad for the rest of the T20I series, though a final Commonwealth Games squad is yet to be determined, and must go through the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee as per Games requirements, according to ICC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With Kapp and Sekhukhune unlikely to return, it leaves South Africa at risk of missing out on a medal at the Games, having already lost Lizelle Lee (retired from international cricket) and van Niekerk, who is still nursing an ankle injury, which side-lined her before the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup earlier in the year in New Zealand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
