Kapp rested for Pakistan ODIs as a precaution, Fay Cowling gets maiden call-up

South African all-rounder Marizanne Kapp has been rested for the upcoming One Day International (ODI) series against Pakistan due to discomfort experienced during the third T20 International. Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced this decision as a precautionary measure to ensure Kapp’s fitness ahead of future matches. In her absence, Fay Cowling has received her first call-up to the national squad, marking a significant milestone in her cricketing career. The ODI series against Pakistan is set to be a crucial contest, with both teams looking to strengthen their positions in the ICC rankings. Kapp, a key player for South Africa, has previously played a vital role in the team’s successes, and her rest may impact their performance. Cowling's inclusion could provide an opportunity for fresh talent to showcase their skills on the international stage. As the cricketing world watches closely, CSA will be hoping that Kapp returns to full fitness soon, while Cowling aims to make a strong impression in her debut series.
