Time to move on from South Africa's WTC win, says Rabada
South Africa's leading paceman Kagiso Rabada says it is time to move on from the euphoria of beating Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) final while admitting a belated major trophy success has come as a relief to his team. Rabada will lead South Africa's attack as they take on Australia in three T20s and ODIs starting in Darwin on Sunday. 'It was special and I've done so many interviews on that since,' Rabada said of South Africa's victory over Australia at Lord's in June. 'It's time to move on. I don't think we'll forget about that ever as a team and South Africa won't ever [forget], but time to move on now,' he told a press conference on Thursday. The five-wicket win in the WTC final followed several frustrating near misses for South Africa in limited-overs World Cups. 'It was a relief, but the show moves on and moving towards the T20 World Cup, the approach will be a bit different. Now there's no fear of anything.' Rabada is relishing a reprisal of the rivalry between Australia and South Africa. 'It's always hard cricket being played, good cricket,' he said. 'Whenever we play Australia, I feel they get the best out of us because they're in our faces and we like that.' Rababa, who turned 30 in May, has not played since the WTC final in London. 'I've had quite a long break so that's been awesome. Maintenance work consistently has to be done because the volume of cricket is quite a bit.' The Australia tour comes before next year's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka and the 2027 World Cup in Southern Africa, and South Africa hope the experience will benefit the young players in their squad. 'For me that's exciting to see them raring to go. It's about trying to see where we're at as a team, moving into almost like another generation,' Rabada added.

Kagiso Rabada Urges Proteas Against Riding WTC High Too Long, Avoiding Pakistan's 2017 Win Like Complacency
South Africa's pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada believes it's time for the Proteas to shift their focus from the emotional high of their World Test Championship (WTC) final triumph over Australia, as the two sides prepare for a six-match white-ball series starting this Sunday in Darwin. Speaking to the media on Thursday, Rabada acknowledged the importance of the WTC victory but emphasized the need to look ahead to the upcoming T20Is and ODIs. 'I think it was special, and I've done so many interviews on that since,' Rabada said. 'I think it's time to move on. I don't think we'll ever forget that as a team, and South Africa won't either. But time to move on now.' The WTC final in June was a historic milestone for South African cricket, ending a 26-year wait for an ICC trophy. At Lord's, Rabada delivered a match-winning performance, finishing with figures of 9 for 110, while Aiden Markram played a pivotal role in the fourth innings with a composed 136 to guide South Africa to victory. Reflecting on the emotional weight of that moment, Rabada said, 'It was kind of like a relief. But the show moves on, and moving toward the T20 World Cup, I guess the approach will be a bit different. Now, you know, there's no fear of anything.' The white-ball series in Australia, which features three T20 internationals and three ODIs, marks Rabada's return to competitive cricket since the WTC final. The 30-year-old used the time off to rest and recover from a demanding schedule. 'Thankfully, I've had quite a long break, so that's been awesome,' he noted. 'Maintenance work consistently has to be done because the volume of cricket is quite a bit.' Looking ahead to the clash with Australia, Rabada is anticipating another intense battle. The South Africa-Australia rivalry has been one of the fiercest in modern cricket, and Rabada welcomes the competitive edge. 'It's always some hard cricket being played, some good cricket,' he said. 'Whenever we play Australia, I always feel like they get the best out of us, because they're sort of in our faces. And I guess we like that.' With the T20 World Cup set for 2026 and a wave of young talent coming through the ranks, Rabada expressed optimism about the team's direction. 'It's just about trying to see where we're at as a team, moving into almost like another generation,' he added.
