But I don\u2019t think the break is really bad – it doesn\u2019t require surgery or anything like that. He\u2019s headed home now. He\u2019ll be doing some rehab for a little while, and I think they\u2019ll test it out in the next little while.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was flat – obviously another opportunity gone. We really need him in this (ODI) team. Obviously with those other opportunities potentially coming up for him, hopefully he can get a bit of time at home, get the rehab in and it heals quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n Australia’s wicketkeeper Josh Inglis catches the ball during the first one day international cricket match between South Africa and Australia, in Durban, South Africa, Thursday, Sept. 24, 2026.
