Proteas Men’s all-rounder Wiaan Mulder has been ruled out of the remainder of the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka due to a fractured right middle finger.

The 26-year-old sustained the injury after being struck on the lower hand while batting during South Africa’s first innings on day two of the first Test in Durban. Subsequent x-rays revealed the extent of the injury.

Dafabet Warriors batter Matthew Breetzke has been named as Mulder’s replacement for the second Test, which will take place at Dafabet St George’s Park in Gqeberha from 05 – 09 December.
