CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South African fast bowler Gerald Coetzee has withdrawn from the second test against India after developing pelvic inflammation during the first test win in Centurion this week.

The 23-year-old experienced discomfort in his pelvis, which got progressively worse while bowling on day three of the match on Thursday, where South Africa won by an innings and 32 runs.
