Even before the start of the Indian Premier League 2022, many teams are in trouble. 8 South African cricketers can stay out of the initial matches despite being fit.
On Tuesday, South Africa announced its team for the ODI series against Bangladesh, in which 8 cricketers are part of IPL teams. South Africa is going to play the ODI series against Bangladesh just before IPL.
If these players play there then many IPL teams may suffer. This is the reason that after this news, now the BCCI is also in a quandary. The BCCI has decided to talk to South Africa’s director of cricket and former Test captain Graeme Smith.
According to media reports, BCCI may soon hold talks with South Africa Cricket Director Graeme Smith. This conversation will be about the availability of South African players.
Accordingly, ‘BCCI will soon contact Graeme Smith on the availability of big players of South Africa. A BCCI official is expecting a solution from Cricket South Africa as there is a good relationship between the two boards.
Which big players are included in South Africa’s ODI team
Wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock has been selected in South Africa’s ODI team, which has been bought by Lucknow Supergiants. Kagiso Rabada is also in the ODI team, which has been made by Punjab Kings at a huge cost of 9.25 crores.
Players like Marco Yanson, Aiden Markram, Rasi van der Dusan, Lungi Ngidi are also part of the South African ODI team. The absence of these players in the opening matches can harm their franchises.
Now only Graeme Smith, the most successful captain in Test cricket history, can solve this matter. Graeme Smith is the director of Cricket South Africa.
He has also played IPL. By the way, South Africa’s Test captain Dean Elgar had also appealed to the players to give preference to the national cricket team instead of the IPL. Dean Elgar had said that this is the time to show his honesty towards the team.
