Rabada limps home to spark World Cup emergency

Probably‚ but South Africa are getting there — as is their World Cup opener against England at the Oval on May 30.

None have been ruled out of the global showpiece‚ but‚ at this rate‚ Andile Phehlukwayo and Dwaine Pretorius might have to share the new ball in London in less than a month’s time. “The scan results‚ combined with further assessment by our physiotherapist Craig Govender‚ who is fortunately in Delhi [with Rabada’s IPL franchise‚ the Capitals]‚ led the CSA medical committee to the decision to withdraw him from the remainder of the IPL.

“Pressure‚ pressure‚ pressure‚” was how selection convenor Linda Zondi just about answered the phone on Friday.Zondi said standby players had been identified but also that their names remained embargoed.“The depth that we have are the guys we have given opportunities to in terms of ‘Vision 2019’‚” Zondi said.

It’s been almost six years since he played his last ODI‚ he’s 36 and he is clearly not among the modern game’s sleek athletes.How about Vernon Philander‚ who took 10 wickets in nine games while conceding 7.38 runs an over for the Cobras and scored 149 runs?
