The 24-year-old will be out of action for four weeks after suffering the injury during the final T20I against Australia on Wednesday.

South Africa after losing the T20 series 1-2, are now locked in a three-match ODI series with Australia.

CSA also announced right-hand batsman Temba Bavuma has recovered from his hamstring injury and will be available for the ODI series against Australia.
