Rabada is a huge figure in the South African seam attack and his loss would be a massive blow as he battles back from an ankle problem sustained in the Twenty20 International series between the sides late last month.
LONDON : South Africa are hopeful key fast bowler Kagiso Rabada will be fit for the first test against England that starts at Lord's on Wednesday, but he has not been cleared to take his place in the side quite yet, according to captain Dean Elgar.
England have recalled fit-again wicketkeeper Ben Foakes for the first Test against South Africa at Lord's, which begins on Wednesday.
England on Tuesday announced their playing XI for the first Test of the three-match series against South Africa, starting at the Lord's Cricket Ground on Wednesday, August 17. Wicketkeeper-batter Ben Foakes makes a return to the side after missing the rescheduled fifth Test against India. Zak Crawley and Alex Lees have been retained at the top of the order while Ollie Pope keeps his place in the playing XI. Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow have been in excellent form for the Ben Stokes-led side, and eye another strong outing against the Proteas.
It would seem that Kagiso Rabada's involvement in the first Test between the Proteas and England, starting at Lord's on Wednesday, might have to boil down to team management taking a leap of faith.
All Blacks coach Ian Foster has named his team to tackle the Springboks in a Rugby Championship Test at Mbombela Stadium on Saturday.

It was a momentous occasion for Pakistan as Abdullah Shafique hit an epic 160 to anchor his team's record chase of 342 at Galle as the tourists won a thrilling opening Test against Sri Lanka on Wednesday. The opener capped his marathon display with the winning runs in the final session on day five, jumping for joy and pumping his fist as Pakistan triumphed by four wickets for a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. Left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya took a match haul of nine wickets but his efforts were in vain as the visitors battled past the previous best chase in Galle of 268 by Sri Lanka against New Zealand in 2019.
