Batsman faces bowler in front of packed cordon


AB de Villiers has been ruled out of the first three Momentum One-Day Internationals against India due to a finger injury.


De Villiers sustained the injury to his right index finger during the third Sunfoil Test match against India and will require up to two weeks to make a full recovery.

The CSA medical team is hopeful De Villiers will recover in time for the fourth ‘Pink’ ODI at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium on Saturday, February 10th. The selectors have opted not to name a replacement.

The first match of the series takes place at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead on Thursday at 13h00. Tickets for the match are sold out.
