CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Left-arm slow bowler Robin Peterson has become the latest player ruled out of the ongoing test series between South Africa and West Indies after he was injured in practice on Tuesday.

He will be replaced by leg-spinner Imran Tahir for the second test that starts in Port Elizabeth on Friday after he was struck on the left index finger while fielding a ball during training, a blow that required stitches.
