Potchefstroom: South Africa fast bowler Anrich Nortje has been ruled out of the third ODI against Australia, scheduled for Tuesday at the JB Marks Oval, here.
The 29-year-old left the field after bowling five overs during the second ODI in Bloemfontein on Saturday due to lower back spasms, a statement read.
He returned to bat during the chase but still requires further assessment and will undergo scans in Johannesburg on Monday. An update will follow in due course, it added.
