Anrich Nortje ruled out of second Test against West Indies
Nortje, who featured in the first Test against West Indies, has been asked to rest as a precautionary measure following an assessment made by the South Africa medical team. Nortje picked 5/36 and 1/48 in the first game which the Proteas won by 87 runs.
The two-match series is a part of the World Test Championship but despite the victory in the first game, South Africa are out of contention for the Ultimate Test at the Oval on 7 June.
No replacement has been named for the fast bowler. Other pace options in the South Africa squad include Kagiso Rabada, Gerald Coetzee, Marco Jansen and Wiaan Mulder.
South Africa bowling coach Charl Langeveldt was also released from the squad due to family reasons. The first Test against West Indies at Centurion was his last in the role.
