South Africa ended a long wait for an ICC Trophy when they defeated Australia in the World Test Championship final back in June but pacer Kagiso Rabada said on Thursday that it was time to move on from that euphoria of winning the title and focus on the next task in hand. The task he was referring to was South Africa’s next three Twenty20 clashes and three one-day Internationals in a series vs Australia, starting on Sunday.

“I think it was special, and I’ve done so many interviews on that since. I think it’s time to move on. I don’t think we’ll forget about that ever as a team, and South Africa won’t ever (forget), but time to move on now.” Rabada told a press conference.
