While the extent of Maharaj’s groin problem is still to be determined, the Proteas confirmed Ngidi had strained his right hamstring and would return to South Africa immediately.<\/p>\n
“Proteas Men\u2019s fast bowler Lungi Ngidi has been ruled out of the T20 International (T20I) series against England with a right hamstring strain,” South Africa said in a statement.<\/p>\n
“He sustained the injury during training on Tuesday at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, and subsequent scans confirmed its extent.<\/p>\n
“Ngidi will return home on Thursday.<\/p>\n
“Nandre Burger has been named as his replacement and will join the squad ahead of the second T20I in Manchester.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While the extent of Maharaj’s groin problem is still to be determined, the Proteas confirmed Ngidi had strained…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":129465,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[9830,7529,1721,7530,9829,40931,61221,50,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-129464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-2025-27","tag-app-stream","tag-cricket","tag-highlighted-news","tag-icc-world-test-championship","tag-keshav-maharaj-02-07-1990","tag-lungi-ngidi-03-29-1996","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129464\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
