Why is Kagiso Rabada not playing SA vs IND T20I?
Kagiso Rabada will not be taking part in the white-ball action on this tour. He is not being benched, rather, is strategically preparing for the red-ball cricket series, as stated by Cricket South Africa. Cricket South Africa stated on Monday (4-12-2023) that the focus is on the Test series. These players, including captain Temba Bavuma, will be back in action when the red ball is thrown. So the speed gunner is preparing for another kind of game and will be back in red-ball action on December 26th.
