Coetzee Included As South Africa Pick Six Uncapped Players For Tri-series Opener In Pakistan

By IANS News February 05, 2025 • 14:12 PM View: 745

Cricket South Africa: Fast bowler Gerald Coetzee has recovered from a left hamstring strain and is now included in South Africa’s 12-man squad for the tri-series opener in Pakistan, happening on February 10 in Lahore against New Zealand.

Coetzee has struggled with groin and hamstring injuries which affected his participation in Tests against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, while the left hamstring strain meant he was out of SA20 2024 for Jo’burg Super Kings after just one match.

For the first game of the tri-series, South Africa will continue to be captained by Temba Bavuma, who will have six uncapped players in batters Matthew Breetzke, Meeka-eel Prince, fast bowlers Gideon Peters and Eathan Bosch – as well as spinner Senuran Muthusamy and all-rounder Mihlali Mpongwana.
