South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma will also miss the second Test against Bangladesh that starts at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram from October 29.

Following their win against Bangladesh in the first Test, South Africa climbed to fourth place on the table with a points percentage of 47.62.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh currently sits in seventh place with a points percentage of 30.56.
