Kagiso Rabada “Released”, South Africa Announce Updated Squad For India ODIs


Kagiso Rabada was released from the South Africa squad for the three-match ODI series against India on Tuesday. Cricket South Africa said the decision to release Rabada was taken to manage his “workload” and to make sure the right-arm pacer recovers in time for the New Zealand tour scheduled next month. “Proteas seam bowler, Kagiso Rabada, has been released from the team for the Betway One-Day International (ODI) series against India due to high workloads over a sustained period of time and the need for him to recover prior the outbound Test series against New Zealand next month,” CSA said in a release.

The hosts did not name a replacement for Rabada but asked George Linde, who was a part of the Test squad to stay back with the ODI as an extra spin-bowling option.

“No replacement will be brought in for him as there is an extended squad in place in the Bio-Secure Environment (BSE), but George Linde has been retained from the Test team as an extra spin-bowling option for the series,” CSA added.

Rabada was the highest wicket-taker in the three-match Test series against India which the hosts won by 2-1. Rabada picked up 20 wickets at an average of 19.05.
