South Africa have dealt a blow as star pacer Kagiso Rabada has now been ruled out of the second upcoming Test match against India. Rabada, who missed the opening Test too has not been able to recover from rib bone stress injury and will now miss the ODIs that start from November 30. It would be a shame that the returning Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli won’t be facing one of the best pacers of this generation.
“The injury has been closely monitored by the Proteas medical team, and due to ongoing discomfort in the affected area, Rabada has been withdrawn from the remainder of the tour,” Cricket South Africa said in a statement on Friday morning, a day off from the start of the game. “He will continue the initial phase of his four-week rehabilitation program with the Proteas medical team before returning to South Africa at the conclusion of the second Test.”
