South Africa to Assess Kagiso Rabada's Fitness Ahead of Australia Test Series
South Africa's pace bowler Kagiso Rabada is expected to prove his fitness ahead of the first Test against Australia starting October 9 in Durban. Rabada has not played since the IPL in May due to a hamstring injury sustained in August. South Africa coach Shukri Conrad and teammate Simon Harmer have noted his recovery progress, but a final decision on his participation will be made close to the match. Even if Rabada misses the first Test, he is expected to feature later in the season.
