The Kagiso Rabada suspension saga is set to continue after the International Cricket Council today confirmed the paceman is appealing his two-Test ban for coming into contact with Australia captain Steve Smith.

In the wake of Rabada taking 11-150 in South Africa’s six-wicket win in Port Elizabeth on Monday, Rabada was suspended for two matches after match referee Jeff Crowe charged the fast bowler for a Level 2 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct.
