The Proteas batsman Tony de Zorzi has been ruled out of ODI series against England after sustaining a hamstring injury in the first match in Leeds.
De Zorzi will return home and undergo scans to determine the extent of the injury.
No replacement has been named.
There is no further update on the availability of Kagiso Rabada, who missed the ODIs in Australia with ankle inflammation and did not play at Headingley. Codi Yusuf, who has been playing for Durham, was brought into the South African squad, which suggests Rabada may not make an appearance until the T20Is.
Proteas other concern is captain Temba Bavuma, who is still under a workload-management protocol after hurting his hamstring in the World Test Championship final in June. Bavuma played in two of the three ODIs in Australia and the first match of the England series but is expected to be rested for one of the remaining two.
Meanwhile, Matthew Breetzke has recovered from his left hamstring strain and is available for selection for the second ODI at Lord’s on Thursday.
South Africa lead the three-match series 1-0.
