Mon Oct 07 13:31:46 UTC 2024: ## Bavuma Out With Injury, Bangladesh Tour in Doubt
**Abu Dhabi, UAE:** South African captain Temba Bavuma will miss the final ODI against Ireland after sustaining a soft tissue injury to his left elbow. The injury, which occurred during the second ODI on Friday, is the same one that sidelined him for an extended period two years ago.
Bavuma, who is a key part of the test batting lineup, is now a doubt for the upcoming two-match test series in Bangladesh, starting on October 21st. His absence would be a major blow to the South African team, particularly in a series expected to be challenging.
Reeza Hendricks will replace Bavuma in the final ODI, with South Africa already holding a 2-0 lead in the series. Bavuma will return home with the rest of the squad on Tuesday and will consult a specialist to determine the extent of his injury. Cricket South Africa will provide an update on his status in due course.
