South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has called on his side to stick together as a unit and remain positive despite losing four-match Test series to England.

Earlier, South Africa suffered a seven-wicket defeat in the third Test in Johannesburg to give England a series win and thereby losing the number one Test ranking to India.

Expressing his views on the same, the 20-year-old insisted that there would always be ups and down in cricket, and, therefore, urged his side to remain as positive as they could ahead of their final game, Sport24 reported.

Rabada was confident that his side would rock up and play hard in the upcoming match against England.

Although the Proteas lost the series, Rabada continues to make impressive strides on the international scene, including his brilliant display in the third Test where he bagged five wickets.

Describing it as a 'memorable achievement', Rabada said that he always tried to help his team by sticking to his game plans as well as to the team's game plan.

The two sides will now play their final Test, a dead rubber, in Centurion from Friday.
