# Cricket: Proteas fast bowler Kagiso Rabada says he is ready for Australia’s infamous sledging tactics, which will only serve to motivate him further. The two nations are preparing to face off in the World Test Championship final at Lord’s, England, next week. The last time the 30-year-old played at the hallowed ground, he got a five-wicket haul against England in August 2022. Rabada says he understands his pivotal role in the squad and recognises the Australians will likely attempt to provoke him, which is part of the game.
