Lungi Ngidi Ruled Out Of South Africa’s Home Series Against Sri Lanka, Pakistan
ICC World Test Championship Standings: South Africa fast-bowler Lungi Ngidi has been ruled out of the side’s upcoming home series against Sri Lanka and Pakistan due to a groin injury, said Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Thursday.
CSA added that Ngidi, 28, recently underwent a medical assessment as part of his structured conditioning period, during which scans revealed bilateral proximal adductor tendinopathy. He will now begin a rehabilitation programme and is expected to return to play in January.
It means that South Africa will be without Ngidi’s services for the two Tests against Sri Lanka and the all-format series against Pakistan. Ngidi has picked 55 wickets for South Africa in Tests at an average of just 23.14 in 19 Test matches. His last appearance for the Proteas internationally came in the ODI series against Ireland in Abu Dhabi last month.
