Injured Rabada Out of ODI Series in Australia

Kagiso Rabada will miss the three-match ODI series against Australia due to right ankle inflammation, confirmed by scans, impacting South Africa's bowling attack, Cricket South Africa said.

  • On Monday, Proteas Men’s fast bowler Kagiso Rabada was ruled out of the series after scans confirmed inflammation in his right ankle, causing Cricket South Africa to omit him from northern Queensland fixtures.
  • This series marks South Africa’s first ODI against Australia since their 2023 World Cup semi-final loss, with the first match in Cairns on Tuesday.
  • Cricket South Africa added teenage pacer Kewena Maphaka, 19 years and 124 days, who finished as last week’s T20 series wicket-taker but was left out of the first ODI XI.
  • In Cairns, Australia captain Mitch Marsh won the toss and elected to field, maintaining his record of choosing to bowl every time in his 2 wins.
  • Meanwhile, WTC-winning captain Temba Bavuma returns after two months, as Josh Hazlewood plays while Cummins and Starc rest ahead of the Ashes.
