Pretorius Capitals suffered a big blow ahead of the start of SA 2024 as star pacer Anrich Nortje has been ruled out of the tournament due to a back injury.
Notably, the 30-year-old pacer has been out of cricketing action since September 2023 after he sustained a back injury during the 5-match ODI series against Australia.
The franchise has included pacer Hardus Viljoen as Anrich Nortje’s replacement for the season.
