AB de Villiers has been ruled out of the first three Momentum One-Day Internationals against India due to a finger injury.
De Villiers injured his right index finger during the third Sunfoil Test match against India and is expected to need up to two weeks to fully recover.
The medical team at Cricket South Africa (CSA) is hopeful that AB will be fit and ready for action by the time the fourth ‘Pink’ ODI takes place at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium on Saturday, 10 February. Interestingly, the selectors have chosen not to name a direct replacement in the squad ahead of these games.
The series opens with the first match at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead on Thursday at 13:00, and tickets for this exciting encounter have already sold out!
