South Africa’s lead pacer Kagiso Rabada was on Tuesday launched from the workforce for the three-match One-Day International sequence towards India as a part of its workload administration.
The sequence begins in Paarl on Wednesday.
“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,” Cricket South Africa (CSA) stated in a press release.
The board stated no alternative shall be introduced in for Rabada as there’s an prolonged squad in place within the Bio-Secure Environment (BSE), however George Linde has been retained from the Test workforce as an additional spin-bowling choice for the sequence.
Squad:
Temba Bavuma (captain) Keshav Maharaj (vice-captain) Quinton de Kock (wk), Zubayr Hamza, Marco Jansen, Janneman Malan, Sisanda Magala, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Wayne Parnell, Andile Phehlukwayo, Dwaine Pretorius, George Linde, Tabraiz Shamsi, Rassie van der Dussen, Kyle Verreynne.
