South Africa's Tony de Zorzi Ruled Out England ODI Series With Hamstring Injury

South African batsman Tony de Zorzi has been ruled out of the remainder of the One-Day International series against England after sustaining a left hamstring strain while fielding in the first ODI at Headingley, Leeds. Although he left the field for treatment and did not return to play, South Africa secured a comfortable seven-wicket victory without needing his batting. De Zorzi will return home for scans to assess the severity of the injury, and no replacement has been named. Matthew Breetzke, who had previously missed matches due to a hamstring strain, has recovered and is available for selection in the second ODI at Lord's. South Africa's squad continues to face injury challenges, with pace bowler Kagiso Rabada still sidelined due to ankle inflammation and captain Temba Bavuma under a workload-management protocol to manage his hamstring injury from June. Despite these setbacks, South Africa currently leads the series 1-0 and aims to maintain their advantage in the upcoming matches.
