David Wiese, South Africa all-rounder,
has been added to the squad for the
first two One-Day Internationals
(ODIs) against England after Albie
Morkel suffered a back spasm during
the recently-concluded Momentum
One-Day Cup.
The injury has ruled him out for the
first two ODIs. Even as the MRI scan
reveals damage to the vertebrae in his
lower back, Morkel can be fit to play
for the last three matches of the
series.
Choosing to remain positive, Morkel
told on Monday (February 1), "I think I
have been playing some of the best
cricket of my life in the last year and a
half. If you cannot accept setbacks like
these, remain positive and move on,
the sporting world will be a dark
place."
Earlier, Marchant de Lange was called
in as a replacement for the injured
Kyle Abbott. Despite the twin injuries,
JP Duminy doesn't feel the South
African side is any weaker.
