South Africa wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock is in doubt for the third Test against New Zealand and may miss the entire Indian Premier League because of a finger injury.
Uncapped keeper Heinrich Klaasen is on standby to replace de Kock if he fails a fitness test on Friday, a day ahead of the Test at Hamilton’s Seddon Park.
De Kock had an X-ray in Hamilton Wednesday which showed his finger was not broken but that he suffered ligament damage when the injury occurred during the second Test in Wellington. South Africa won that match by eight wickets to lead the three-match series 1-0.
