Lutho Sipamla ruled out of Namibia tri-series; Andile Simelane called up as replacement.
South Africa fast bowler Lutho Sipamla has been ruled out of the Namibia tri-series after a left hamstring injury in the opening match against the hosts. Andile Simelane steps in as replacement.
Sipamla left the field during South Africa's seven-wicket win over Zimbabwe on Saturday. The injury happened in the 14th over of his spell.
South Africa play Namibia again on Monday before the tri-series wraps up later this week.

Sipamla's injury leaves South Africa short of experienced pace options in a tri-series that was meant to blood young players. Simelane now gets an unexpected chance to stake his claim for higher honours.
