Rabada remains positive
Fellow quick Anrich Nortje was forced to withdraw from the squad on May 7 after a thumb fracture ruled him out of the tournament, and Rabada’s back injury prompted him to leave the Indian Premier League (IPL) prematurely, but updates from South Africa’s team doctor Mohammad Moosajee, and Rabada himself, are largely positive. Moosajee spoke of the attentiveness with which their star bowler was being handled. “With KG‚ we are extra cautious because of two reasons‚“ he said.
“He had a back issue that kept him out of the game for a protracted amount of time. Secondly‚ there’s his importance in the squad‚ so we’re managing his rehab and his return to play very carefully.”
Rabada had a lumber muscle strain with associated muscle spasms, but thankfully no surgery was required. Moosajee backed him to be available for South Africa’s first game against hosts England on May 30.
