Parnell ruled out of ODI series

Durban - Proteas all-rounder Wayne Parnell has been ruled out of the Momentum One-Day International (ODI) series against Australia due to a rib injury.

Parnell sustained the injury during the second ODI in Johannesburg on Sunday and will need between three to four weeks to make a full recovery.

Commenting on Parnell’s injury, Proteas team manager Dr Mohammed Moosajee said: “Wayne had a high-impact landing while fielding during the second ODI on Sunday with subsequent scans confirming a rib injury. He will require two to three weeks of rest before he can resume bowling which makes him unavailable for the remainder of this series.”

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
