Coetzee will be closely monitored by the Proteas medical team, with a decision on his inclusion to be made within the first week of February.

The injury was confirmed by his Betway SA20 franchise, the Joburg Super Kings, on Sunday.

"Joburg Super Kings fast bowler Gerald Coetzee has sustained a left hamstring strain and will take no further part in Betway SA20. Coetzee last played against Durban's Super Giants on the 14th of January," read their statement.

"The 24-year-old will undergo further medical assessments and rehabilitation."
