This privilege is much larger than me. It goes beyond my personal aspirations.”I am serving a provisional suspension and I am looking forward to returning to the game I love playing.”Rabada had been in good form and became just the sixth South African cricketer to take 300 wickets in October.He was the quickest-ever bowler to reach the landmark in terms of deliveries bowled, taking 11,817 balls.He played in the Titans’ first two IPL matches this season, taking two wickets before flying home.It is unclear if he will return to the competition with the Titans this season, with four matches of the regular season remaining.Rabada added: “Moving forward, this moment will not define me. I will keep doing what I have always done, continuously working hard and playing with passion and devotion to my craft.”Related topicsSouth AfricaCricket

PA MediaBen RamsdaleBBC Sport journalist34 minutes ago33 CommentsThe FA Cup final between Manchester City and Crystal Palace will kick off at 16:30 BST on Saturday, 17 May at Wembley.The Football Association said the time was agreed following collaboration with the two clubs, broadcasters, local authorities, police and the Safety Advisory Group.Both of the previous two finals, featuring City and Manchester United, started at 15:00 as police would not allow them to be later, while the 2022 final between Chelsea and Liverpool was at 16:45.No Premier League matches have been scheduled for the day.City’s semi-final against Nottingham Forest last weekend saw thousands of empty seats in the blue half of Wembley, with fans blaming the cost of tickets and travel as well as the timing of the match – 16:30 on a Sunday.On this year’s final day, the last direct train back to Manchester from Euston is at 21:09, which should give fans enough time even if the match were to go to extra time and penalties.Pep Guardiola’s side booked their place in the final for a third successive year with a 2-0 victory over Forest while Palace, who have never won the FA Cup, made it to the final for just a third time after a 3-0 win against Aston Villa.The 2024-25 FA Cup final will be broadcast live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.Related topicsManchester CityFA CupCrystal PalaceFootball
