CSA says they have to take a call between playing the T20 league or representing their country against Bangladesh
Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje are among the 11 South Africans who will be in action in IPL 2022
South Africa will give their players a choice of whether to go to the upcoming IPL or stay in the country and play the three-ODI and two-Test series against Bangladesh, which starts on March 18.
“The players need to give Cricket South Africa an indication of if they are keen to go to the IPL or if they are keen to play for the Test side. It’s a bit of a tough one putting that in the players’ box but this I guess, this is where you see where players’ loyalty lies,” Elgar said. “They mustn’t forget that Test cricket or one-day cricket got them into the IPL and not the other way around.”
A total of 11 players from South Africa will be participating in the upcoming IPL: Kagiso Rabada (Punjab Kings), Dwaine Pretorius (Chennai Super Kings), Anrich Nortje (Delhi Capitals), Lungi Ngidi (Delhi Capitals), Rassie van der Dussen (Rajasthan Royals), Dewald Brevis (Mumbai Indians), Aiden Markram (Sunrisers Hyderabad), Marco Jansen (Sunrisers Hyderabad), Quinton de Kock (Lucknow Super Giants), David Miller (Gujarat Titans), Faf du Plessis (Royal Challengers Bangalore)
