De Lange out of Champions League.

Marchant de Lange, the South African fast bowler will not take part in the T20 Cricket League to be played in South Africa in October this year. He was a member of the Titans' squad. He is also a doubtful starter for South Africa's tour of Australia leter in the year as he recovers from a lower back stress fracture. He sustained the injury in June and is expected to return to action, only by November.

He is currently undergoing rehabilitation. The bowler would also examine his bowling action to see whether it could be modified to prevent similar injuries in future. Allan Donald, the bowling coach of South Africa is a part of a team that is helping Lange to make a swift and successful return to international cricket.

De Lange sustained the injury during the unofficial T20 tri-series between South Africa, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh in June but was included in the touring squad for the England Test series the following month.
