South Africa include fast bowler Kagiso Rabada in their preliminary squad for an upcoming Test series in Australia. Both outlets report that he is selected even though he is dealing with a hamstring injury.
The reports differ only in emphasis. Channel NewsAsia frames the update as part of the squad announcement ahead of the Australia Tests, while The Express Tribune specifically highlights that Rabada’s name appears despite his fitness concern. In both accounts, the preliminary nature of the squad is implicit: selections at this stage do not confirm that Rabada will definitely play, particularly given injury management plans commonly used ahead of overseas series. The next step for the squad involves assessment closer to the start of the Tests and any necessary decisions based on his recovery.
No other team members, match dates, or squad size details are provided in the excerpts supplied.
