While it may be little consolation, it has been confirmed that entries for the cancelled Cape Town Marathon will not go to waste.

South Africa will be bolstered by the return of experienced left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj, who missed the first Test with a groin strain.

He struggled all weekend with unexplained shaking of his bike, a problem he also experienced in Indonesia after winning both the sprint and grand prix in Japan a week earlier.

It was the 32-year-old's first title since 2020, the year she won her only major at the Women's PGA Championship and was also crowned LPGA player of the year.
