BRISBANE, Jan 13: South African strike bowler Makhaya Ntini could make a surprise return for the triangular one-day series after Andre Nel was found to have a severe stress fracture in his left foot on Friday.
Nel, South Africa’s leading wicket-taker in the 2-0 Test series loss to Australia, will fly home early on Saturday, missing the upcoming series.
