However, South Africa Cricket said that Coetzee remains in contention for selection for the Champions Trophy and a decision on his inclusion will be taken in the first week of February. The date of handing over the last team to ICC is 11th February. South Africa's white-ball coach Rob Walter confirmed that Coetzee was in contention for a Champions Trophy place, but was dropped in favor of the more experienced Enrique Norkhia. With Enrique Norkhia out due to a back problem and Coetzee also injured, Walter, the team's sole selector, will have to make up for the lack of reserve players.
