Sept 23 (Reuters) - South Africa have been dealt another blow ahead of the three-match One Day International home series against Australia that starts in Durban on Thursday after fast bowlerKwena Maphaka withdrew with a hamstring injury.
• Maphaka’s injury follows the absence of first-choice fast bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi, who also both have hamstring problems.
• Lizaad Williams has been called into the squad as a replacement for Maphaka.
• South Africa are also without seamers Ottneil Baartman (hamstring) and Nandre Burger (back), as their seam attack is decimated.
• The first match in the series will be played in Durban on Thursday, before further fixtures in Johannesburg on Sunday and Potchefstroom on September 30.
