Miller, who was set to lead the Proteas in the three-match T20I series against Pakistan from October 28 to November 1, sustained a grade 1 right hamstring strain during training in build-up to the tour. \u201cHe will now begin a phased rehabilitation program,\u201d said CSA in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Coetzee, meanwhile, has been sidelined from both the T20I and subsequent ODI leg of the tour, scheduled to be held from November 4 to 8, after suffering a pectoral muscle injury while bowling in the one-off T20I against Namibia in Windhoek earlier this month.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSubsequent scans revealed the extent of the injury and following specialist consultation, he has commenced a structured rehabilitation program under the supervision of the Cricket South Africa High Performance and Momentum Multiply Titans medical teams,\u201d added CSA.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In response to the setbacks, batters Matthew Breetzke and uncapped Tony de Zorzi have been added to the T20I squad, while batter Donovan Ferreira will take over captaincy duties for the series in the shortest format in Miller\u2019s absence. Fast bowler Ottneil Baartman has been named as Coetzee\u2019s replacement in the ODI squad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
