Rabada in contention for South Africa’s second Test

Temba Bavuma says the fast bowler is progressing well ahead of Gqeberha.

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma said Kagiso Rabada is likely to be considered for the second Test against Australia after missing the Durban opener while recovering from a hamstring injury. Anrich Nortje may make way if Rabada returns, although Bavuma indicated South Africa are unlikely to make wholesale changes. The second Test is scheduled for 18–22 October in Gqeberha.
