PROTEAS ODI and T20 captain AB de Villiers is in a race against time to be fit for the series against Australia starting in October.
De Villiers suffered a fracture to his left hand in training with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in India yesterday morning.
"AB's injury will be assessed by Cricket South Africa's team of hand specialists as soon as he returns home," said Proteas team manager Mohammed Moosajee.
"This will give us an exact indication of the treatment and rehabilitation required and the length of time that he will be out of action.
"At this stage, we can only make a call about his availability for the series against Australia once the specialists have assessed his injury."
He had been ruled out of the remainder of the Champions League T20 tournament and would fly home for diagnosis and medical treatment.
If De Villiers, the first-choice wicketkeeper for South Africa, is unavailable, the selectors will have to call up a replacement behind the stumps.
