South Africa: Cricket-Morris in for Nortje as S. Africa forced to shuffle World Cup squad By Reuters reuters
Nortje fractured his right thumb while practising in the nets and will need six to eight weeks to make a full recovery, a media statement from Cricket South Africa confirmed on Tuesday.
“It is an unfortunate and freakish injury, especially because he had made a successful recovery from the shoulder injury he sustained during the series against Sri Lanka.” “Chris has always been in our plans and is our next best option with the ball,” South Africa selection convener Linda Zondi said. “We have had concerns around his injuries and workload capabilities, but this is an opportunity for him to make a mark on the biggest stage.”
