Anrich Nortje Ruled Out of Third Test Against Australia with Groin Injury
South Africa's fast bowler Anrich Nortje has been ruled out of the third and final Test against Australia due to a mild groin injury sustained during the second Test in Gqeberha. Nortje left the field early and did not return, cutting short his return to Test cricket after over three years. South Africa have not named a replacement but may consider pacers Gerald Coetzee, Corbin Bosch, Dane Paterson, or spinner Senuran Muthusamy. The series is currently tied 1-1, with the decider starting in Cape Town.
