JOHANNESBURG – Chloe Tryon has been ruled out of the women’s T20 international series against Sri Lanka after the reoccurrence of a groin injury.
The Proteas all-rounder and vice-captain is aiming to be fit enough to return for the ODI series starting on 11 February in Potchefstroom.
Suné Luus has received a lifeline and has been recalled to the team after she was not named in the original squad for the tour.
The three-match series is a televised double-header alongside the men’s KFC T20 series starting on Friday, at Newlands.
