Rabada, 25, is likely to take about three weeks to regain his fitness. Hence, he has been released from the squad and bio-secure bubble that is in place for the England series.

In a statement, Cricket South Africa said Rabada’s release was designed to ensure rehabilitation and preparation ahead of the two-Test series against Sri Lanka that starts later this month.

South Africa coped a 3-0 whitewash in the T20I series against England, with Rabada participating in the first two games.

They will now take on Eoin Morgan and company in three ODIs, starting December 4 in Cape Town.
