South Africa’s Faf du Plessis will miss his side’s opening three games of English cricket’s new The Hundred competition because of the lingering effects of concussion, it was announced Saturday.

Du Plessis was due to captain the Northern Superchargers after replacing Australia’s Aaron Finch. But he was not in the side for the Superchargers’ opening match of the new 100 balls per side tournament against the Welsh Fire on Saturday, with England all-rounder Ben Stokes leading the team instead.
