Kagiso Rabada, South Africa’s top paceman, says it’s time to get over the ferocity of beating Australia in the World Test Championship final, but that the team has “nothing to fear” now that their belated major trophy success has come to an end.
As South Africa take on Australia in three Twenty20 fights and three one-day internationals starting on Sunday in Darwin, Rabada will spearhead the country’s attack.
Rabada referred to South Africa’s victory over Australia at Lord’s in June as “special,” adding that she has done so many interviews since.
“I believe it’s time to move on,” she said. He stated at a news conference on Thursday that he believes South Africa will never forget that as a team and that it is time to move on.
South Africa’s five-wicket victory in the WTC final came after a number of frustrating near misses at limited-over World Cups.
“It kind of felt relief,” she said. However, as the season progresses and we approach the T20 World Cup, I’m inclined to expect something slightly different.
You are aware that nothing is a threat.
Rabada relishes the resumption of Australia and South Africa’s conflict.
He said, “There’s always some good cricket playing, and there’s always some hard cricket.” I always think that Australia gets the most out of us because we kind of have them in our faces whenever we play them. And I suppose that’s our style.
Rababa, who turned 30 in May, hasn’t played since the London WTC final.
“Thank goodness I’ve had a long break, so that’s awesome. Because of the high volume of cricket, maintenance work must always be done.
South Africa hopes the experience will help the young players in their squad as they prepare for the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka and the 2027 World Cup in Southern Africa.
