Fast bowlers Anrich Nortje and Sisanda Magala have been ruled out of the 2023 ODI World Cup with injuries. They have been replaced by Andile Phehlukwayo and Lizaad Williams in South Africa's 15-man squad for the tournament that begins in India on October 5.

Nortje has a thought pressure crack of the back in the wake of encountering fits during the second ODI against Australia recently. Magala, who played just the third ODI against Australia and went for 1 for 46 out of four overs, has a left-knee injury.

"It's enormously frustrating for Anrich and Sisanda to be passing up the 50-over World Cup," South Africa's mentor Burglarize Walter said. "We identify in their oversight and will keep on offering all the fundamental help as they pursue their re-visitation of cutthroat activity.

"This gives an open door to Andile and Lizaad on the worldwide stage. The two players have been essential for our colder time of year programs as well as having addressed South Africa in the new white-ball visit against Australia. They offer incredible ranges of abilities and we're eager to have them complete the 15-player crew during the current year's Reality Cup."
