CAPE TOWN: Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Monday confirmed that Junior Dala has been withdrawn from the team squad for the upcoming limited-overs series against Sri Lanka.

“Lutho Sipamla has joined the squad as Junior Dala has been withdrawn due to medical reasons,” Cricket South Africa tweeted.

On August 12, CSA had announced the men’s ODI and T20I squads that will travel to Sri Lanka for a six-match tour. The fixtures will be played from September 2-14 in Colombo.

Dwaine Pretorius returned to both squads after being forced to miss out on the West Indies and Ireland tours due to medical reasons.

Quinton de Kock has been rested from the ODI team. David Miller sustained a hamstring injury during the final T20 against Ireland and will miss the ODI series while his progress is being monitored. Both have been marked to make their return to play in the T20 series.

The ODI squad will travel to Sri Lanka first, followed by the T20 players.
