South Africa Vs Bangladesh News

Proteas pacer Nandre Burger has been sidelined for the rest of the Ireland ODI series due to a lumbar stress reaction. The left-arm fast bowler will also miss South Africa's key clash against Bangladesh later this month for two Tests and is scheduled for scans, with further updates pending.

According to a report by ESPNcricinfo the red-ball specialist of the South African team might prefer the Indian Premier League over the upcoming series against Bangladesh. South Africa are all set to play two Tests and three ODIs against Bangladesh from March 18 to April 11 in a home series.

Bangladesh recently played three ODIs and two T20Is against Afghanistan and won the ODI series and Shakib Al Hasan was part of the squad. Shakib has recently revealed that constant cricket is weighing him down and he should not tour South Africa for upcoming series with the current mental state.

Bangladesh will tour South Africa for three ODIs and two Tests, starting from March 18 at SuperSport Park, Centurion. They have recalled Tamim Iqbal and Shakib al Hasan in the Test squad, while Fazle Mahmud and Mohammad Naim have been dropped from the squad for the longest format of the game.
