South African bowler Chris Morris has been ruled out for 2 months due to a left knee injury. 

Apparently, he had been carrying the niggle for almost 8 months but it got worse in the past 2 weeks. 

Accordingly, he has been advised complete rest for recovery.

South Africa team manager Dr. Mohammed Moosajee said,

“

Chris has been carrying a chronic left knee patella tendon injury for the last eight months which we have treated and managed up to this point. The injury has flared up considerably over the last two weeks leaving us with no option but rest and rehabilitation to allow the knee time to fully recover.

”

He further added, “He will take no further part in the match against Ireland and the series against Australia and will target a return back to international cricket for the Sunfoil Test series against Sri Lanka in December.”

Dwaine Pretorius has been added to the South African ODI squad as his replacement for their upcoming ODI series against Australia.
