Kagiso Rabada ruled out of upcoming series against Australia
South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has been ruled out of the upcoming ODI series against Australia and is unlikely to participate in the subsequent three-match Test series.
Cricket South Africa confirmed that Rabada is undergoing rehabilitation for a right hamstring injury. While the exact severity was not officially disclosed by the governing body, reports from former South African cricketer Allan Donald indicate the player sustained a grade three tear.
Donald stated that the injury will likely keep Rabada sidelined for at least two months, which would encompass the entire Test series against Australia starting on October 9. Rabada's absence is considered a significant blow to the Proteas' bowling attack ahead of their home summer.
