Johannesburg, March 17 (ANI): South Africa Women's cricket team all-rounder Dane van Niekerk will miss the remainder of the tour to New Zealand due to a right calf injury, the Proteas Women announced on X.
According to the statement, Van Niekerk felt discomfort on the eve of the first T20 International (T20I), and a subsequent scan revealed the injury's extent, which will require rehabilitation.
Fidelity Titans' Anneke Bosch has been called up as Van Niekerk's replacement for the rest of the tour, the statement added. Her wife, and veteran all-rounder Marizanne Kapp, is also not in the squad as she recovers from illness.

The series in New Zealand consists of five T20Is and three ODIs, which form part of the Women's Championship.
The T20Is are being played as double-headers with the men's matches, where South Africa has another injury concern. Batter Jordan Hermann is out with a hamstring injury, but no replacement has been named. (ANI)
