Graeme Smith will miss the third and final match of the one-day series against Zimbabwe, at Port Elizabeth on Wednesday (March 2), to rest his injured ankle.
Smith, who cracked 117 - his highest ODI score - in the second match at Durban today, which South Africa won to clinch the three-match series, has pulled out after receiving medical advice about his injury.
Shaun Pollock, who missed the first two matches with an ankle injury of his own, will also sit out the third game, as will Jacques Kallis and Makhaya Ntini. All four are expected to be fit to play in the first Test against Zimbabwe, which starts at Cape Town next Friday (March 4).
Nicky Boje, the vice-captain, will skipper South Africa in the final ODI against Zimbabwe.
