Gerald Coetzee
Gerald Coetzee Injury: Although Champions Trophy 2025 is to start from February 19, but its preparations are very fast at the moment. Except India and Pakistan, all the other teams have been announced. Meanwhile, the team that is the strongest contender to win the Champions Trophy title has suffered another setback. We are talking about South Africa. South Africa has already announced its team for this ICC tournament. Enrich Norkhia was included in the team. But just after the announcement of the team, he got injured and will no longer be able to be a part of this tournament. But another problem has arisen in front of the team. There is news that Gerald Coetzee will also not be able to play the Champions Trophy.
Difficult to play even Gerald Coetzee
Gerald Coetzee, one of the best fast bowlers of South Africa, was not included in the Champions Trophy squad, but when Enrique Norkhia got injured, it was being said that Gerald Coetzee would be the bowler who could be his replacement. That means he was considered a strong contender to join the team. But now their hopes seem to be dashed.
Gerald Coetzee injured during SA20
Gerald Coetzee was currently playing for his team Pretoria Capitals in SA20, but during this tournament it was revealed that Coetzee was suffering from hamstring problem. Now he is out of SA20 for some time to come. In such a situation, there is very little possibility that Coetzee will be able to play in the Champions Trophy, because now there is only one month left for the Champions Trophy to start. However, what is the update regarding Gerald Coetzee is yet to be revealed. The big thing is that Coetzee has recently recovered from his old injury and once again crisis has surrounded him. These are not good signs at all.
Gerald Coetzee’s ODI record
Gerald Coetzee has so far played 14 ODI matches for his team and taken 31 wickets. His average is 23.22 and he bowls at an economy of 6.48. Now if Coetzee is not well till the Champions Trophy, then it will be interesting to see which player the South African Cricket Board includes in its team in place of Enrique Norkhia. However, even after Norkhia’s exclusion, there are already many strong bowlers in the team.
