Faf Du Plessis Ruled Out Of Sri Lanka Tour

South Africa captain Faf du Plessis has been ruled out of the remainder of the Sri Lanka vs South Africa series due to a right shoulder injury. Du Plessis, who had surgery on his right shoulder late last year, fell awkwardly while attempting a catch during the 3rd ODI, which South Africa won by 78 runs.

“Faf sustained an injury to one of the rotator cuff tendons in his right shoulder and will unfortunately be unavailable for the rest of the tour,” team manager Mohammed Moosajee said in a media release from Cricket South Africa on Monday.

“He will need a rehabilitation period of up to six weeks to make a full recovery.”

The South Africans hold an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series, with the fourth game scheduled for the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.

The teams will also be involved in a one-off Twenty20 international in Colombo on Aug. 14 that will close the tour, which included two test matches that were convincingly won by the home side.

South Africa’s next assignment will be a home limited overs tour by Zimbabwe starting in late September. The visitors already have an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.
