SA Cricketers Chose IPL – South Africa vs Bangladesh Series: Dean Elgar’s worst nightmare came to pass on Thursday. Elgar won’t have his primary fast bowling attack at his disposal for the two match Test series against Bangladesh.
Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and Lungi Ngidi, all frontline members of the attack, who starred for the Proteas in their series win against India will play no part in the series against Bangladesh that starts at the end of the month.
In addition to the bowlers, Rassie van der Dussen, who gained his first full time IPL contract in February and Aiden Markram will also be coming down to play IPL.
Cricket South Africa’s new CEO, Pholetsi Moseki said on Wednesday that the organisation’s hands were tied regarding allowing players to fulfil IPL contracts over national commitments.
Moseki cited the Memorandum of Understanding CSA has with the players body, the SA Cricketers Association.
In terms of the MoU the IPL is the only T20 league that is recognised as having a window and in that regard, the agreement with SACA is that the players be allowed to go.
However Cricket SA could still issue a directive that they don’t. but Moseki said Wednesday CSA was reluctant to do so, given the financial implications for the players.

Kagiso Rabada: $1.233 million – Part of South Africa Test Team
