He underwent an MRI scan on Saturday that confirmed a disc bulge, officials said on Sunday.

Jarvis, who opened the bowling for Zimbabwe in the first test defeat, had been struggling with back pain and was advised to rest.

Zimbabwe have called up all-rounder Tinotenda Mutombodzi to replace him and will also have opening batsman Kevin Kasuza back.
