NZ T20Is: South Africa batter Jordan Hermann has been ruled out of the remaining matches in the five-game T20I series against New Zealand due to a right hamstring injury.
In what was his maiden T20I for South Africa, Hermann injured himself while fielding during Sunday's series opener at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, preventing him from continuing in the match. Scans confirmed a grade two tear. The Proteas, however, are yet to name a replacement for Hermann.

The left-hander sustained the injury while fielding in his debut match on Sunday at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui and subsequently left the field without returning to open the batting. Scans later confirmed a grade two tear. A replacement has not been named,” Cricket South Africa said while confirming the development via X.
