South Africa pace bowler Lungi Ngidi is ruled out of the Proteas’ upcoming ODI series against Australia after suffering a hamstring injury. Multiple reports say Ngidi’s injury prevents him from taking part in the series.
Ngidi is replaced in the national squad by Nqobani Mokoena. The switch reflects the Proteas’ need to adjust their bowling options following Ngidi’s withdrawal. The outlets describe the call-up as an immediate squad change ahead of the ODI matches, without adding further detail about the injury timeline or availability for other fixtures.
While both sources focus on the same outcome—Ngidi’s exclusion and Mokoena’s inclusion—they frame it as a blow to South Africa’s attack, highlighting the impact on the team’s bowling unit rather than providing additional performance or medical specifics.
