After Missing Kolkata Game Due To Rib Injury, Rabada Ruled Out Of Second Test
Seamer Lungi Ngidi: After missing South Africa’s 30-run win over India in the first Test at Kolkata, fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has been ruled out of the second Test against India in Guwahati and the subsequent white‑ball series due to a rib bone stress injury.
Seamer Lungi Ngidi has already been drafted into the squad as a cover for the injured Rabada. "The injury has been closely monitored by the Proteas medical team, and due to ongoing discomfort in the affected area, Rabada has been withdrawn from the remainder of the tour.
"He will continue the initial phase of his four-week rehabilitation program with the Proteas medical team before returning to South Africa at the conclusion of the second Test," said Cricket South Africa (CSA) in a statement on Friday.
