South African seamer Kagiso Rabada is tracking well to return in time for the highly anticipated Test series against Australia, confirmed Proteas coach Shukri Conrad.
David Bedingham sent a strong message to the Proteas selectors that he wants his place back in the Test team after hitting centuries in both innings in a domestic first-class fixture at Newlands.
Proteas captain Temba Bavuma believes South African men are failing in their basic duties of protecting their women, and have made them feel unsafe in their own country.
The Proteas have suffered another injury blow in the fast-bowling department after Lungi Ngidi was ruled out of the three-match ODI series against Australia due to a right hamstring strain.
Proteas spin bowler Bjorn Fortuin says the ODI series win in Namibia will give them confidence heading into the inbound tour of Australia, which begins next week Thursday.
Ryan Rickelton and Temba Bavuma shone with the bat in the opening round of the domestic first-class competition, but there was an injury concern for fast bowler Lungi Ngidi who hobbled off injured.
