South Africa will be without Kagiso Rabada for the second and final test against India in Guwahati after the fast bowler failed to recover from a rib injury.
Rabada missed South Africa's 30-run victory in the first test at Eden Gardens after sustaining a rib bone stress injury in training ahead of the game and will not be ready for the start of the second test on Saturday.
South Africa had called up seamer Lungi Ngidi earlier this week in anticipation of Rabada's absence and he will be in contention to play.
