South Africa National Cricket Team suffered a massive blow amid the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025 clash against England National Cricket Team. Stand-in skipper Aiden Markram faced a hamstring injury during the game, which is underway at the National Stadium in Karachi.
Aiden Markram experienced discomfort in his right hamstring after he attempted to save the boundary with a tremendous diving save at mid-off. The stand-in skipper of the team then went off the field and it was expected that he would return soon on the ground.
But his injury turned out to be worse than expected, as Aiden Markram won’t be taking the field anymore in the game. The right-hander has been asked not to take the ground as a precaution, especially with the semi-final of the ICC Champions 2025 around the corner.
Aiden Markram, however, will be coming to bat only if required. In his absence, Heinrich Klaasen will be taking over the charge of the team for the remainder of the game. Cricket South Africa released the official statement on the batter’s fitness and said:
“Aiden Markram is experiencing discomfort in his right hamstring. As a precaution, he will not field for the remainder of the innings and will bat only if required. Heinrich Klaasen will captain South Africa for the rest of the match.”
