SA vs IND: Anrich Nortje ruled out of Test series
South Africa's Anrich Nortje has been ruled out of the three-match Test series versus India

South Africa fast bowler Anrich Nortje has been ruled out of the upcoming three-match Test series against India.

As per ESPNcricinfo, CSA's chief medical officer Dr Shuaib Manjra said Nortje is undergoing rehabilitation at the moment and will be aiming make a return for the ODIs against India in mid-January.
