BRISTOL, ENGLAND (AP) – South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada will miss the two T20 internationals against Ireland this week because of a left ankle injury.
Cricket South Africa yesterday said the Proteas’ attack leader will continue his rehabilitation in an effort to be fit for the test series against England, which starts on August 17 at Lord’s.
Rabada skipped the last T20 against England last Sunday but his medial ligament injury will need more treatment, CSA said, meaning he’s ruled out of the T20 games against the Irish in Bristol today and Friday.
South Africa leads the World Test Championship standings ahead of a three-test series against a revived England, which has won its last four tests under new captain Ben Stokes and new coach Brendon McCullum.
