Replacement made by South Africa as Nortje gets injured; Bosch to play in Champions Trophy

Bowling all-rounder Corbin Bosch has been selected as the replacement for the injured Anrich Nortje in South Africa's 15-member squad for the upcoming Champions Trophy in Pakistan. Bosch will bring his skills and experience to the team as they compete in the prestigious tournament later this month.

The 30-year-old Bosch made his ODI debut against Pakistan in December, returning figures of 1 for 69 in nine overs, but was one of the standout seamers in SA20 champions MI Cape Town's campaign. Fast bowler Kwena Maphaka has also been added to the squad as a travelling reserve. They are already without Gerald Coetzee, ruled out with a groin issue, while Beuran Hendricks and Lizaad Williams have been recovering from injuries too.
