By IANS News September 03, 2021 • 19:36 PM View: 1637

South Africa's T20I and ODI skipper Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the ongoing Sri Lanka tour due to a fracture in right thumb. In his absence, left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj will lead the team in ODIs. For the T20Is, the national selection panel would meet to decide on the skipper.

"Scans have indicated a fracture and Bavuma will return to South Africa as soon as possible to consult a specialist. The timelines for return to play will be defined subsequent to that," said Cricket South Africa (CSA) in a statement on Friday.
