Anrich Nortje, a South African speedster, will not play in the third One-Day International in the five-match series against Australia. Notably, the pacer experienced lower back spasms and will have tests on Monday, September 11 in Johannesburg.
The pacer will be restricted to the sidelines for the following ODI game, which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, September 12. This was verified by Cricket South Africa (CSA). It is unknown how bad the discomfort is, and it is uncertain whether he will return for the rest of the series.
It is important to note that Anrich Nortje quit the second ODI in Bloemfontein after bowling five over.
Even though he came back to the plate in the second innings, the further worsening of his agony has caused him to withdraw from the following ODI.
