NEW DELHI: The availability of South African fast bowlers Anrich Nortje and Sisanda Magala for the upcoming ODI World Cup in India remains uncertain as the duo faces a fitness test this week. Both players were initially included in South Africa's 15-member squad for the World Cup but had limited participation in the recently concluded five-match ODI series against Australia, raising concerns about their readiness for the global tournament.
Nortje has been grappling with a lower back injury, while Magala is nursing a left knee problem. South Africa are scheduled to depart for India on September 23, and a final decision on the participation of these two fast bowlers will be made prior to the team's departure.
