This would mean him unfortunately missing the rest of the series against England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We feel for Aiden who worked extremely hard to come through his previous hand fracture sustained in India to be Test match ready,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The uncapped Petersen has been drafted into the squad, owing to excellent domestic performances. The 26-year-old has 88 first-class matches under his belt for Boland since his debut in 2012 and has scored 5,490 runs at an average of 40.66, including 15 hundreds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Recently, he scored 111 for South Africa A against the English in a tour match in Benoni last week, and made 155 for Northern Cape against Western Province in Kimberley last month in a second-tier first-class game - his most recent innings at that level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The second Test begins on January 3 in Cape Town.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
