The former England captain will be part of Brendon McCullum's coaching group for the upcoming T20 and one-day international series at home to Sri Lanka later this month, as well as subsequent series.

All eyes will be on South Africa in 2027 when they co-host the 14th edition of the 50-over World Cup alongside Zimbabwe and Namibia, and Rabada can’t wait for the action to begin.

Rohit, 37, and his opening partner Kohli, 35, quit Twenty20 Internationals last month after the team's victory in the World Cup final against South Africa in Bridgetown but both men will continue to play test and 50-overs cricket.

In addition to the South African grounds, matches will also be played in Zimbabwe and Namibia, who will co-host the tournament.
