Kagiso Rabada to Miss Entire South Africa-Australia Home Series Due to Hamstring Injury
South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada is expected to miss the entire home series against Australia due to a grade-three hamstring tear, requiring up to 10 weeks of recovery. This injury rules him out of the three-match Test series starting October 9, as well as the preceding ODI matches. Rabada, a key player with 340 Test wickets, had hoped to return earlier but medical assessments indicate a longer rehabilitation. South Africa faces additional pace bowling concerns with Nandre Burger's ongoing recovery from a back stress fracture.
