Dhaka: Imran Tahir, South Africa’s Pakistan-born leg spinner, has been advised ten days’ rest to deal with a fractured left thumb but the selection committee will decide when that period should be.
He is definitely not out of the tournament, the team manager Mohammed Moosa Jee said.
South Africa play India on Saturday, and in the ten days between that match and the first quarter-final they play Ireland and Bangladesh.
Tahir sustained the injury – which was not to his bowling hand – while catching England’s Jonathan Trott off his own bowling on Sunday. He is South Africa’s leading wicket-taker in tournament, with 11 so far.
