ZIMBABWE, June 29, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Zimbabwe opening batsman Brian Bennett 
was ruled out of the rest of the first Test against South Africa on Sunday 
after being diagnosed with mild concussion.

Bennett, who scored 139 on his previous Test appearance against England in 
Nottingham last month, had scored 19 off 24 balls on the second day of the 
match when he attempted a hook against fast bowler Kwena Maphaka and was 
struck on the helmet.

After lengthy treatment on the field the 21-year-old resumed batting and 
faced three more deliveries in the next over from Codi Yusuf before walking 
off the field.

Zimbabwe Cricket announced during the lunch break that Bennett had been ruled 
out of the match and in keeping with concussion protocols would be replaced 
by Prince Masvaure.
