Blow for South Africa as captain Bavuma to miss Pakistan T20 series

CAPE TOWN - An already depleted South Africa squad has been dealt a further blow after newly-appointed captain Temba Bavuma was ruled out of their four-match home Twenty20 International series against Pakistan with a hamstring strain.

Bavuma was injured while batting in the One-Day International series decider that was won by the tourists in Pretoria on Wednesday. The opening T20 match is in Johannesburg on Saturday.
