JOHANNESBURG, Nov 6: Opener Herschelle Gibbs will miss South Africa’s One-day International series against Bangladesh after breaking a team curfew, Cricket South Africa (CSA) said on Thursday.

“Herschelle’s behaviour is unacceptable in the context of team discipline,” national coach Mickey Arthur was quoted as saying in a CSA statement released on Thursday.
