Philander in doubt for NZ Test

CAPE TOWN — Vernon Philander is in doubt for the New Year’s Test against New Zealand (NZ) after a flare up of his left
hamstring during the Sunfoil Series match between Cobras and Titans at Newlands.

Report by Sapa

Philander bowled five overs and took a wicket before leaving the ground to have scans. Initial estimates were a recovery time of seven-10 days, but that has been extended to up to two weeks following the results of scans.
