Kagiso Rabada ruled out of Australia ODIs with hamstring tear
Kagiso Rabada is likely to miss South Africa's series against Australia due to a grade-three hamstring tear, requiring up to 10 weeks recovery.
Kagiso Rabada has been ruled out of South Africa's ODI series against Australia after suffering a grade-three tear in his right hamstring. The injury is expected to sideline the fast bowler for nine to 10 weeks. Rabada's availability for the subsequent three-Test series remains uncertain.
CSA stated that Rabada's return for the Tests depends on how he progresses through rehabilitation. Losing Rabada would be a significant blow for South Africa, who defeated Australia in last year's World Test Championship final at Lord's.
The 31-year-old took nine wickets in that match and remains a cornerstone of the Proteas pace attack.
CricHubb Take
South Africa's depth in fast bowling will face an immediate test if Rabada misses the full home summer against Australia, Bangladesh and England.
