South Africa's explosive batter Dewald Brevis has been ruled out of the three-match ODI series against Pakistan with a low-grade shoulder muscle strain. He suffered the injury during the third T20I against Pakistan in Lahore on Saturday. Brevis will stay with the team in Pakistan and undergo rehabilitation ahead of the multi-format tour of India. 

“He sustained the shoulder injury during the third T20 International at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Saturday. Brevis will undergo rehabilitation with the Proteas Men’s medical team in Pakistan in preparation for the upcoming Test tour of India. His replacement for the ODI series will be announced in due course,” read the statement.

No replacement has been named for Dewald Brevis yet. Following Pakistan's tour, South Africa will be travelling to India to play two Tests, three ODIs and three T20Is. His absence is a huge setback for South Africa, who are already without their experienced players like Aiden Markram and Kagiso Rabada for the series.
