South Africa pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada and medium - pacer Sisanda Magala have pulled out of the 3TC Solidarity Cup scheduled to be played on Saturday at the SuperSport Park.
The 3TC match will be contested between three teams of eight players each.
The match would be played over 36 overs in two halves of 18 overs with a break at halftime.

The three replacements are Thando Ntini (Kingfishers), Gerald Coetzee (Kingfishers) and Bjorn Fortuin (Eagles)
In Rabada's absence, Heinrich Klaasen has been named as captain of the Kingfishers team.
