South African wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock has been ruled out of the remainder of the ongoing ODI series and the following T20I series against India due to a wrist injury he suffered when he was batting in the second ODI. It has been confirmed that he will out of action for two-four weeks and is expected to be fit in time for the Test series against Australia.
The selectors didn't name any replacement for the left-hander as the Proteas already have Heinrich Klaasen in the squad after he, along with Farhaan Behardien, was called up as a replacement for Faf du Plessis.
With the Proteas already 2-0 down in the series, the absence of de Kock will just make their task of making a comeback in the series difficult.
Though de Villiers is expected to return for the fourth ODI at the Wanderers in Johannesburg, skipper du Plessis has been ruled out of the series and in his absence, Aiden Markram has been given the responsibility to lead the side.
