Proteas batsman David Bedingham has been sidelined by injury.
Bedingham was not named in Durham’s XI for this week’s County Championship fixture against Yorkshire.
He has sustained a toe injury two months ahead of South Africa’s World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord’s in London.
“David suffered a knock on his toe when batting last week and a scan has revealed a fracture,” read a statement from Durham.
“Durham’s science and medicine team will continue to assess Bedingham regularly ahead of a return to play.”
Other Proteas cricketers are involved in the 2025 County Championship, too. Wicketkeeper-batsman Kyle Verreynne recently hit a century for Nottinghamshire – and seamer Dane Paterson debuted for Middlesex this week.
The Proteas are also waiting on the match fitness of captain Temba Bavuma, who has been sidelined by an elbow injury.
Bavuma did not play for the Lions in the final of the 4-Day Domestic Series, division one, final against the Titans earlier this month due to the injury.
