South African star pacer Kagiso Rabada and Sisanda Magala will not take part in Saturday’s inaugural 3TCricket Solidarity Cup at SuperSport Park. Although, they were all set to take part in the game but following the tragic deaths of close family members they won't take part in the tournament.
Cricket South Africa confirmed Thando Ntini and Bjorn Fortuin as their respective replacements in the OUTsurance Kingfishers and Takealot Eagles teams, on Wednesday. On the other hand , all-rounder Chris Morris is also unavailable for the match and he will be replaced by Gerald Coetzee, also in the Kingfishers team.
