Proteas Men’s fast bowler Nandre Burger has been ruled out of the remainder of the One-Day International (ODI) series against Ireland and the upcoming Test tour of Bangladesh due to a lumbar stress reaction.
The 29-year-old experienced discomfort in his lower back and subsequent scans revealed the injury. He will return home and undergo further assessments.
His replacement for the two-match Test series against Bangladesh will be announced in due course.
