Since Gerald Coetzee hurt himself during Saturday’s one-off Twenty20 International against Namibia and South Africa, his availability for the forthcoming white-ball series against Pakistan may be in question. Gerald Coetzee has also experienced a number of injuries in the past.
In Windhoek, Gerald Coetzee is said to have had a pectoral muscle injury at the Namibia Cricket Ground.
Nonetheless, he bowled with a lot of zip. He was only able to bowl 1.3 overs, though, excluding the four wide balls, and he was out of the game before South Africa lost by four wickets. His continued absence from the game has also been verified by CSA.
Unfortunately, the right-arm speedster has suffered a number of injuries recently. Gerald Coetzee groin ailment prevented him from playing for South Africa in the 2025 Champions Trophy. After that, he rejoined the team in Zimbabwe a few months ago. Since then, Gerald Coetzee has played for South Africa A versus New Zealand A. In the multi-format tour against Pakistan, he was also included in the ODI and T20I squads.
It was November 2024 when Gerald Coetzee vlast participated in a red-ball game. He had a groin injury that prevented him from playing the remainder of South Africa’s Test season. Gerald Coetzee is not the first pacer to experience a recent setback due to injury. A hamstring strain prevented Kwena Maphaka from playing in both the match against Namibia and the tour of Pakistan. Maphaka was hurt while participating in a domestic red-ball game.
These injuries don’t affect the Proteas’ potent pace-bowling squad. Lizaad Williams and Nandre Burger both recovered well after knee surgery and a lower back stress fracture, respectively. South Africa’s pacers, Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, and Wiaan Mulder, will play a couple of Test matches against Pakistan.
