Kagiso Rabada set to return for South Africa second Test

Kagiso Rabada will return for South Africa's second Test against Australia after missing the Durban opener with a hamstring injury.

Kagiso Rabada is expected to return to South Africa's playing XI for the second Test against Australia in Gqeberha after missing the Durban opener with a hamstring injury. Australia assistant coach Matthew Wade warned that Rabada's return would make the home attack more dangerous, citing the bowler's competitiveness and ability to sustain pressure.

Rabada bowled with increasing intensity during the first Test and looks ready to replace Anrich Nortje. Cameron Green is unlikely to feature for Australia, with Wade indicating the all-rounder is more likely for the third Test in Cape Town.
