Rabada's availability for first Australia Test uncertain until last minute

Kagiso Rabada's participation in the first Test against Australia remains uncertain, with a decision expected to be made 'as late as possible.' Rabada has not competed in red-ball cricket for nearly a year, following South Africa's tour to Pakistan in October of the previous year. This situation adds pressure to the South African squad ahead of the crucial series. The coaching staff is monitoring his condition closely as the match approaches.
