3 reasons why banning Kagiso Rababa is an inappropriate decision

#3 Ruining an ongoing classic series

The series is poised at 1-1 after South Africa's victory in Port Elizabeth

The four-match series is excitingly poised level at 1-1, with the third Test starting on 22 March in Cape Town. Australia haven't lost a Test series in South Africa for almost five decades now and the stakes are too high for both teams to prevail over the opponents in this series as well.

At the time when Rabada was handed over the ban, he was ranked as the No.1 bowler in Tests by the ICC. Rabada has regained the top spot in bowlers' rankings and also crossed the 900-point mark after picking up 11 wickets in the match against Australia in Port Elizabeth.

The ongoing series between South Africa and Australia, though enticing hasn't attracted many viewers to the ground. Moribund Test cricket today requires a superior bowling standard and when a young and exciting fast bowler is giving his all for the team, banning him is similar to giving a heavy blow to the game itself.
