‘Life Moves on’ Rabada Looks ahead to World Test Championship Final after Drug Ban

South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada said life moves on and he will never be “Mr I-Apologize-Too-Much” after serving a one-month ban for testing positive for recreational drug use at this year’s SA20 competition.

The 30-year-old Rabada can resume playing for his country in June, after being named in South Africa’s squad for the World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord’s from June 11 to 15.

Having already apologized for his actions in May, Rabada said he wanted to move on from the incident.

“I’m just glad to be playing again. The process was handled really well … I think, as a player, and a man, people will have their different opinions. I can live with that,” Rabada told media on Saturday before leaving for London, Reuters reported.

“There are some people who would have been disappointed and to those people I’m deeply sorry … The people closest to me are the ones I felt I let down.

“But life moves on. I’ll never be ‘Mr-I-Apologize-Too-Much’. But I’ll never condone that action.”
