Nathan Ellis, Joel Davies leave Australia’s South Africa tour injured

Australia's ongoing tour of South Africa has suffered another blow as Nathan Ellis and Joel Davies were ruled out of the concluding fixture due to physical ailments. Ellis sustained a left side issue during the recent encounter at the Wanderers, while Davies incurred a right hamstring problem while patrolling the boundary as a substitute fielder.

These departures compound a mounting fitness crisis that previously forced Josh Inglis and Billy Stanlake out of action, leaving squad depth severely tested as the visitors trail two matches to none in the series. Selection staff are also monitoring Jack Edwards due to a hamstring niggle alongside lingering shoulder trouble affecting Cameron Green, potentially restricting available personnel strictly to a dozen fit players for the final match.

Meanwhile, returning Test participants have linked up with the touring contingent ahead of an upcoming two-day exhibition fixture at JB Marks Oval.
