Kagiso Rabada looking to move on from drug ban: Won't be Mr-I-Apologise-Too-Much
Kagiso Rabada is ready to move on from his one-month drug ban and claimed that he won't be someone who will keep on apologising for the incident ahead of the World Test Championshop final against Australia. Rabada served a one-month ban for the use of a recreational drug and had returned home mid-way through the IPL, where he was playing for Gujarat Titans. The South African pacer was tested positive during the SA20. advertisementRabada was cleared of wrongdoing and is part of the South Africa squad for the clash against Australia, which will start on June 11 at Lord's. As quoted by Daily Star, Rabada said that he is glad to be playing for the Proteas again and the process was handled well. The pacer said that while he won't dwell too much on the past, he will never condone the action.
"I'm just glad to be playing again. The process was handled really well ... I think, as a player, and a man, people will have their different opinions. I can live with that. There are some people who would have been disappointed and to those people I'm deeply sorry ... The people closest to me are the ones I felt I let down."advertisement"But life moves on. I'll never be 'Mr-I-Apologise-Too-Much'. But I'll never condone that action," said Rabada. Rabada on talking to teammates about incidentRabada said that he has been talking to his teammates about the incident and will continue to do so in the coming days to mend any rifts that may have been caused due to the incident. "I think I owe it to them (to talk about what happened)," he said. "They're my team mates. We've come from so far.""I've already spoken to them and I guess we can do so in more detail when we get together for an extended amount of time."Rabada will likely lead the South African pace attack with the likes of Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, Wiaan Mulder, Lungi Ngidi and Dane Paterson also in the squad.
