South African pacer Kagiso Rabada likely to be fit ahead of World Cup
Kagiso Rabada
South African pacer Kagiso Rabada is likely to be fit for the upcoming Cricket World Cup, which is scheduled to kick off from May 30 in England and Wales.
Rabada, who played for Delhi team in Indian Premier League 2019, suffered a back injury and was called back by Cricket South Africa (CSA).
Despite his early departure from the IPL, Rabada ended the tournament as the second highest wicket-takerbehind Chennai's Imran Tahir.
South Africa boar's doctor Mohammed Moosajee over the weekend said CSA's medical team was being "extra cautious" in managing Rabada's workload because of his history with back injuries, ESPNcricinfo reported.
Earlier, Moosajee, in a statement issued by CSA, had said, "With KG (Rabada), we are extra cautious because of two reasons. 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. The anticipated recovery period for KG's injury is two to three weeks and we are hopeful he'll make a full recovery to be part of the World Cup squad," he added.
