Simon Harmer provides update on Kagiso Rabada ahead of Australia Test: ‘Everybody wants him to play’

South Africa is monitoring the fitness of fast bowler Kagiso Rabada ahead of their opening Test against Australia. Spinner Simon Harmer noted that while the team hopes for his inclusion, they remain cautious about risking his long-term health, with a final decision expected shortly before the match begins.

During a training session, Rabada performed light stretching and bowled approximately 20 deliveries under the supervision of Piet Botha, though he still needs to increase his intensity to prove his readiness. Harmer emphasized that the current squad is better prepared to handle potential absences through collective team effort rather than relying on individual stars.
