South African tennis player Rassie van der Dussen was ruled out of the Twenty20 World Cup on Tuesday with a broken finger.
Van der Dussen has been left out of the squad for the tournament in Australia starting next month after failing to recover from a broken left index finger during his second test with England.
Captain Temba Bavuma, who has often been in limited focus, will recover from a left elbow injury and will lead the team in Australia.
South Africa also selected table tennis player Rilee Rossouw, player to surround Wayne Parnell and 22-year-old newcomer Tristan Stubbs in their 15-man squad.
Allrounder Andile Phehlukwayo is absent and is one of the team’s three subs.
