AB de Villiers and Morne Morkel have been ruled out of South Africas upcoming two-Test series against New Zealand with injury. Mark Giordano Jersey . Faf du Plessis will stand in as captain. Dale Steyn and Vernon Philanders return to fitness and Wayne Parnells first Test call-up since the Australia series in 2014 will ensure South Africas pace pack has several options including Kagiso Rabada, Chris Morris and Kyle Abbott.For du Plessis, the elevation to captaincy is also a recall of sorts. He was dropped from the Test XI for South Africas last Test, against England in January but will now automatically have his place back. It also means de Villiers will not play in his first series since being made permanent Test captain after the England series, following a period of uncertainty about his commitment to the national team.De Villiers spent significant amounts of last summer discussing the need to manage his workload but towards the end, gave South Africans an assurance that he would not miss any international cricket but an elbow injury sustained during the CPL will rule him out of action for between six and eight weeks. Im naturally disappointed to miss the Test series against New Zealand, particularly because I have not missed a Test match through injury since my debut in 2004, de Villiers said. However, with an exciting summer of cricket ahead, it is obviously sensible to allow my elbow time to heal properly.Morkel, who also played in the CPL, has a bulging disk in his back and will be sidelined for four to six weeks. South Africa are hopeful of having both players fit for the start of the home ODI series against Australia in October.Despite the two major injury concerns, South Africa welcome back Philander and Steyn, both of whom missed significant parts of last season with injury. Philander tore ankle ligaments in the warm-ups of the second Test against India while Steyn sustained groin and shoulder injuries that kept him out of six of South Africas last eight Tests.Philander made a return for his franchise, the Cape Cobras, towards the end of last season and has since played for South Africas A side. Steyn was part of the World T20 squad and was rested from the ODI tri-series in the Caribbean but has played in both the NatWest T20 Blast and the CPL since, which has given South Africas convener of selectors Linda Zondi some cause for comfort.It is most unfortunate that we will not be able to call on two players of the quality and experience of de Villiers and Morkel. However, we are fortunate to have a capable stand-in captain. Injuries are a reality that we have to deal with and with both Dale Steyn and Vernon Philander fit and firing again after respective long-term injuries, I am confident we have the players to take on New Zealand.Among those players are JP Duminy, who has kept his place despite being dropped for the New Years Test against England, sole specialist spinner Dane Piedt and Stiaan van Zyl, who is looking to find a spot in the middle order after being dropped as opening batsman in favour of Stephen Cook, who is set to keep his place. Zondi had previously indicated Cook will be given a fair run to establish himself and proof of that came when Cook was named captain of the South Africa A side.He led the team in Zimbabwe last month and is doing the same job in the ongoing series in Australia. Although the A side were beaten by Australia A in their first four-day game, their victories in Zimbabwe has convinced Zondi the players have had enough game time in preparation for New Zealand. He said it was a very encouraging sign that Test squad members had performed well in Zimbabwe.South Africas Test squad members have only had the A matches to prepare for in seven months, since the series against England in January. Abbott and Rabada have played county cricket but the rest have mostly been occupied at T20 leagues.It is also South Africas first series since CSA confirmed they will be introducing a target on the number of players of colour in their teams in accordance with a memorandum of understanding signed with the South African sports ministry. Specific numbers have not been confirmed. However, at the weekend Afrikaans-language newspaper Rapport claimed CSA have agreed on six players of colour in every starting XI, of which at least two must be black African. In this squad, South Africa have seven players of colour which includes two black Africans.South Africa squad: Faf du Plessis (capt), Kyle Abbott, Hashim Amla, Temba Bavuma, Stephen Cook, Quinton de Kock (wk), JP Duminy, Dean Elgar, Chris Morris, Wayne Parnell, Vernon Philander, Dane Piedt, Kagiso Rabada, Dale Steyn, Stiaan van Zyl Sam Bennett Flames Jersey . The incident occurred at 19:56 of the second period of the Kings 4-2 road win over Edmonton on Sunday. Nolan punched Oilers forward Jesse Joensuu in the jaw in front of the Kings goal during a scrum. Jonas Hiller Jersey . Klitschkos management company says the bout will be the Ukrainian fighters 25th world championship fight. The 1.83-meter (6-foot) Leapai defeated the previously unbeaten Denis Boytsov in November to become the WBOs mandatory challenger. http://www.jerseyofficialhockeyflames.com/johnny-gaudreau-hockey-jersey/ . Team physician Dr. Steve Traina performed the surgery Friday. Robinson was injured in a spill underneath the Nuggets basket during the first quarter of Wednesday nights loss to the Charlotte Bobcats. BOSTON -- When Dustin Pedroia sat out a Sept. 20 game in Baltimore, the Boston Red Sox explained that he was taking a one-game breather to rest a sore left knee.Turns out, the injury was more serious than that.Pedroia underwent surgery to clean up his left meniscus, the team announced Thursday. The procedure -- a partial medial meniscectomy and chondroplasty -- was performed Wednesday by team orthopedist Dr. Peter Asnis at Massachusetts General Hospital. Although the Red Sox didnt outline a rehab plan for Pedroia, they expect the 33-year-old second baseman will make a full recovery in time for spring training.By all accounts, Pedroia was injured when he ranged for a ball up the middle and twisted awkwardly to make a throw on Sept. 11 in Toronto. When he didnt play nine days later, manager John Farrell indicated Pedroia merely needed a day offf and wouldnt require an MRI exam or other testing. Nicklas Grossmann Flames Jersey. Pedroia batted .335 with a .386 on-base percentage after the All-Star break and excelled when Farrell moved him into the leadoff spot in August. In 154 games overall, he hit .318 with 36 doubles, 15 homers and an .825 OPS, his best offensive season since 2011.But Pedroia also stumbled down the stretch, perhaps because he was compromised by the knee injury. He went 19-for-80 (.238) in his final 18 regular-season games and was 2-for-12 in a three-game AL Division Series sweep by the Cleveland Indians.This marks the latest in a series of offseason surgeries for Pedroia, who dealt with finger, thumb and wrist injuries after the 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons.
