Johannesburg: South African pace
bowler Vernon Philander, who is
suffering from an ankle injury, has
been ruled out of remainder of the
four-match Test series against
England. The 30-year-old had been
sidelined since a warm-up football drill
during the tour against India. Earlier, it
was hoped that Philander might
feature in the final two Tests, but
Cricket South Africa had confirmed
that it is difficult for him to recover in
time, Sport24 reported. Meanwhile,
pace spearhead Dale Steyn, who failed
to recover sufficiently from his
shoulder injury sustained during the
opening Test in Durban, is unlikely to
feature in the third Test as well.
England are currently leading the
series 1-0 against England after the
second match between the two sides
ended in a draw in Cape Town. Vernon Philander ruled out of Test series against England due to ankle injury - Latest Cricket News, Articles & Videos at CricketCountry.com
