South Africa will be without fast bowler Anrich Nortje for the second and final test against West Indies that starts at The Wanderers on Wednesday after he picked up a mild groin injury and is to be rested.
Nortje took a match tally of 6-84 in South Africa's 87-run first test victory in Pretoria, including first innings figures of 5-36 as he swung the match in the home side's favour with some fearsome fast bowling.
South Africa have opted not to call up a replacement, which will likely mean a return for either of their spin options, Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer, who were left out in the first game.
