Miller and Coetzee have been sidelined by respective hamstring and pectoral muscle injuries.

“Scans conducted on Wednesday confirmed Miller had sustained a grade one right hamstring strain during training in the build-up to the tour. He will now begin a phased rehabilitation program,” read a statement from Cricket South Africa.

“Coetzee has been ruled out due to a pectoral muscle injury. The 25-year-old sustained the injury while bowling during the one-off T20I against Namibia in Windhoek earlier this month.

“Subsequent scans revealed the extent of the injury and following specialist consultation, he has commenced a structured rehabilitation program under the supervision of the Cricket South Africa and Titans medical teams.”

Matthew Breetzke and Tony de Zorzi have been added to the T20I squad, while Donovan Ferreira will captain the side. Ottneil Baartman has been named as Coetzee’s replacement in the ODI squad.”
