Rabada ruled out of ODI series, doubtful for Tests vs Australia

South Africa's premier fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has been ruled out of the upcoming home one-day international series against Australia and is doubtful for the subsequent Test series after suffering a Grade 3 tear in his right hamstring. The injury, sustained during training in August, is expected to sideline the 31-year-old for nine to 10 weeks, dealing a significant blow to the Proteas' plans for the high-profile home summer. Cricket South Africa confirmed Rabada is undergoing rehabilitation under the supervision of the medical team. His availability for the Test series will depend on his recovery progress, with a selection decision to be made closer to the matches.
