Ban comes after bowler reaches limit for demerit pointsSouth Africa’s hopes of winning series dealt a huge blowSouth Africa’s hopes of winning the Test series against
England have been dealt a huge blow with the news that their pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada has been banned by the International
Cricket Council for next week’s fourth and final Test in Johannesburg.

The 24-year-old has been punished for his send-off to Joe Root during the first day of the third Test in Port Elizabeth after he bowled the England captain in the 65th over. Rabada received one demerit point for the gesture, which saw him run up to Root and scream as he walked off.
