Kagiso Rabada Injured Ahead of South Africa's Upcoming Cricket Season
South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has sustained a right hamstring injury during winter training, potentially affecting his participation in the upcoming international season. Cricket South Africa will assess the injury's severity before confirming his availability. The season includes a T20I tri-series in Namibia, an ODI series against Australia, and Tests against Bangladesh and England. Rabada missed the 2025 Test series against India due to a rib injury. Additionally, South Africa A's all-rounder Senuran Muthusamy is sidelined with a lower back spasm ahead of a Test against Bangladesh A.
