Fast bowler Kagiso Rabada shared that they are learning fast from head coach Mark Boucher and batting consultant Jacques Kallis before their first Test against England. Ex-wicketkeeper Mark Boucher and all-rounder Kallis have been trying their best to revive South African red ball side back on track after a dismal 2019 with their experience of 986 international games across formats.

“Jacques and Mark are both greats of the game so just to listen to them share their knowledge – not necessarily skills based, but how you mentally approach certain situations. They speed up your learning process,” Rabada told reporters on Thursday. “They have a plan, they are really decisive about what they want. There is an expectation on every player to do what is required.”
The pace-spearhead Kagiso Rabada, number two on the Test bowler rankings, shared that he is also looking forward to working with bowling consultant Charl Langeveldt.

“I really enjoy working with him, he is in the same bracket as Jacques and Mark. They all know what they are talking about and played at this level for such a long time,” he added. “Everyone is on the same page, we are still trying to define roles for each player to execute, but that is a process and it will come.”
“England are on a high in world cricket at the moment, they have been playing a lot of Test cricket and have a team that is well-drilled and has been playing together for some time,” he shared. “Our challenge is that we are going through a transition period and we need to see if we can step up. We believe we can, that is the mood in the changing room.”
The first Test is scheduled to begin on December 26 at SuperSport Park, Centurion.
