Side Strain Injury Rules Gerald Coetzee Out Of MLC 2024

Big Blow For TSK and South Africa

Texas Super Kings and South Africa fast bowler Gerald Coetzee has been ruled out of the MLC 2024 with a low-grade left-side strain.

The South African Pacer suffered the blow in the team's very first game against Los Angeles Knight Riders where he returned with the figures of 1-28 in 4 overs.

The Texas Super Kings haven't opted for a replacement yet. They decided to play Dwayne Bravo against Washington Freedom where rain played a spoilsport and no result was possible.

Coetzee is in a race against time to be fit for the test out of the Caribbean scheduled to begin next month. South Africa is currently languishing the 7th place as they lost a crucial away series in New Zealand where a make-shift team was sent to play.

They also lost a crucial 2nd Test match to India at Cape Town earlier in the year. South Africa play their first test on August 7 in Port Of Spain, and they then to move to Guyana to play the 2nd Test from August 15.
