Proteas fast bowler Gerald Coetzee has been ruled out of the ODI Tri-Series against Pakistan and New Zealand as well as the Champions Trophy.
The 24-year-old experienced tightness in his groin while completing his 10 overs at training on Wednesday morning at the Centre of Excellence in Pretoria.
Following further assessment by the Proteas medical team, it was determined that the symptoms posed an increased risk of significant injury at a higher bowling load required for the upcoming 50-over matches.
A replacement will be announced in due course.
Coetzee will not be considered for selection for the Champions Trophy.
