SA are without fast bowler Duanne Olivier who has been ruled out of the series with a grade 2 tear to his right hip flexor muscle, but there are other seamers in the squad such as Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortjé, Marco Jansen, Glenton Stuurman and Lutho Sipamla who can step in. With rain in London on Tuesday, Rabada did not have the opportunity to train outdoors but Elgar said he will work indoors.
Over the past few days, a lot has been said about England’s new high-octane style of play called"Bazball" under new coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes, but Elgar didn’t want to talk about it.
