Injured Coetzee ruled out of second Test

South Africa fast bowler Gerald Coetzee has been ruled out of the second and final Test against India.

The 23-year-old fast bowler developed pelvic inflammation during the first Test in Centurion. The injury aggravated while bowling on the third day of the first Test. He picked up only one wicket in the first innings and bowled just five overs in the second as South Africa hammered the visitors by an innings and 32 runs.

Cricket South Africa have opted against naming a replacement for the Test match that gets underway on January 3 in Cape Town. The hosts have Lungi Ngidi and Wiaan Mulder as alternate fast bowling options in the squad to pick from and they have the option of bringing in Keshav Maharaj as well, who wasn't selected for the first Test.
