Kagiso Rabada Set to Return for Crucial Second Test Against Australia
South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada is set to return for the second Test against Australia at Gqeberha after missing the series opener due to a hamstring injury. His return is seen as crucial by teammates like David Bedingham, who highlighted Rabada's past success against Australia, including nine wickets in the World Test Championship final. Rabada emphasized the importance of the match, noting the team is trailing 1-0 and there is no room for easing back. Several other Proteas players remain sidelined with injuries ahead of the game.
