Bavuma picked up the injury while playing during the Proteas' recent trip to the United Arab Emirates where they faced Afghanistan and Ireland in limited overs series.

Bavuma will, however, travel with the team to Dhaka, Bangladesh, on Tuesday and continue his recovery under the supervision of the Proteas' medical team in preparation for the second Test.
