South Africa allrounder Ryan McLaren will miss the second test against Australia with concussion following a crunching blow to his helmet from a Mitchell Johnson bouncer in the series opener.
The South African team says McLaren was admitted to a clinic in Johannesburg with "mild concussion" a day after suffering the blow on Saturday, the fourth day of the first test. He was discharged yesterday.
South Africa team doctor Mohammed Moosajee said today that McLaren had been experiencing headaches and nausea about 30 hours after being hit.
South Africa says it will not call up a replacement for the second test starting Thursday at Port Elizabeth, relying on the remaining 14 players in the squad.
