Donovan Ferreira Suffers Shoulder Fracture, T20 World Cup Participation in Doubt

  • South African all-rounder Donovan Ferreira sustained a shoulder fracture during an SA20 match, jeopardizing his T20 World Cup availability.
  • Ferreira injured his left shoulder while fielding for Joburg Super Kings against Pretoria Capitals and later retired hurt after facing one ball.
  • The injury will keep Ferreira out of the remainder of the SA20 tournament, impacting Joburg Super Kings' playoff hopes.
  • His potential absence from the T20 World Cup could force South Africa to consider replacements like Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, or Matthew Breetzke.
  • This adds to South Africa's injury concerns, with Tony de Zorzi also recovering from a hamstring injury, and criticism over Ottneil Baartman's exclusion.

Why It Matters: Donovan Ferreira's shoulder fracture puts his T20 World Cup participation in doubt, a major blow for South Africa.
