Durban: All-rounder Wiaan Mulder has been ruled out of the rest of South Africa’s Test series against Sri Lanka series due to a fractured right middle finger suffered in the ongoing first Test at Kingsmead.
Matthew Breetzke has been added to the squad as a replacement. Mulder, 26, sustained the injury after being struck on the lower hand while batting against Lahiru Kumara on the first ball of the 27th over during South Africa’s first innings on day two of the ongoing Test. He received treatment on-field, and faced two more balls before retiring hurt due to the injury, following which he was taken to the hospital during lunch for further examination. Subsequent x-rays revealed the extent of the injury, which means South Africa won’t have his services for the ongoing game. IANS
