New Delhi, Mar 20: South Africa speedster Kagiso Rabada will play in the third Test in Cape Town after successfully overturning a two-match suspension for making contact with Australia captain Steve Smith.
The decision was handed down following a six-hour appeal on Monday night from Rabada, skipper Faf du Plessis and South African barrister Dali Mpofu.
He has been found not guilty of the charge of making inappropriate and deliberate physical contact with Australian skipper Steve Smith following a hearing.
ICC Chief Executive David Richardson said: "The ICC wholly accepts today’s decision and I would like to thank Mr. Heron for overseeing the hearing in a short time frame before the next Test starts in South Africa.
