South Africa Injury Blows continues; another pacer added to the list.

Star South African Pacer Anrich Nortje is out of the remainder of the limited-overs series T20 and one-day internationals after his toe injury. The South African team is gearing up for the Champions Trophy, and they are bringing back their best players to play ODI cricket, but this team's key pacer, Nortje, will miss it.

He was supposed to play the T20 and both 50-over series, but he got injured in the net session before the first T20. 

It is expected that that might be a small injury, but he was unavailable for the first identity after the injury. When the scans were done, it was found that he had a fracture in his toe. The injury happened about three months before the Champions Trophy, so the pressure is expected to come back by the start of the Champions Trophy. 

South African injury blows are continuing. The South African team has faced a series of injuries with the Pacers, who were injured in the last two weeks. In the first test match, all-rounder Wiaan Mulder was wounded with a finger fracture during the South Africa versus Sri Lanka test series. In contrast, in the exact test match, key South African pacer Gerald Coetzee also got injured with his groin injury.

A series of injuries shook the South African pace attack, which is concerning as the team's prospects for the WTC finals look good.
