South Africa's cricket team suffered another setback in their upcoming series against Pakistan. Dynamic batter Dewald Brevis, a key player in the squad, has been ruled out due to a shoulder injury sustained during the third T20 international in Lahore. This injury comes as a blow to the team, which is already facing a depleted lineup. Brevis' absence adds to South Africa's growing injury list, which includes regular captain Temba Bavuma, pace bowlers Kwena Maphaka and Gerald Coetzee, and openers Aiden Markram and Kagiso Rabada. The team is now without one of its most versatile players, raising concerns about their performance in the upcoming ODI series against Pakistan. With the series starting on November 4, 2025, South Africa will need to find a suitable replacement for Brevis to maintain their competitive edge. The team's focus now shifts to the two-match Test series against India, starting November 14 in Kolkata, where they will hope for a full recovery for Brevis and a strong performance from their remaining players.
