South African seamer Gerald Coetzee has been ruled out of the forthcoming ODI tri-series in Pakistan, which also involves New Zealand, and the ICC 2025 Champions Trophy.
The 24-year-old played just one game in the SA20 2025 because of a left hamstring injury and was making his return after playing just one match in the space of two months, but it wasn’t meant to be.

“The 24-year-old experienced tightness in his groin while completing his 10 overs at training on Wednesday morning at the Centre of Excellence in Pretoria,” Cricket South Africa stated in their release.
“Following further assessment by the Proteas medical team, it was determined that the symptoms posed an increased risk of significant injury at a higher bowling load required for the upcoming 50-over matches. A replacement will be announced in due course.”
