JP Duminy adds to T20 Champions League injury list

The batting all-rounder sustained a knee injury while playing for South Africa in the recent tri-series in Zimbabwe.

Duminy has, therefore, not even travelled to India with his team-mates.

His absence represents a major blow for the South African side given he is one of their leading stars.

The 30-year-old is the Cobras' second-most prolific batsman with 981 runs across 40 appearances.

Cobras begin their campaign against Northern Districts on Friday.

Duminy's injury is also a frustrating withdrawal for the event, with Dale Steyn and Mitchell Johnson having also pulled out.
