ICC Cricket World Cup 2019: Kagiso Rabada saga hard evidence that IPL is brightest part of cricket's future

Firstpost  

The IPL is rising, fast. So does the fact that he talked all around the question when he was asked directly on Sunday whether skipping the IPL in a World Cup year wouldn’t have been a good idea. The concern shouldn’t be that Rabada has lost his zip by playing in tournaments like the IPL — where he sent down 282 legal deliveries this year — but that he is being overworked by South Africa — in whose colours he has bowled 1536 balls in 2019. Parth Jindal and Kiran Kumar Grandhi, the owners of Delhi Capitals, Rabada’s IPL franchise, should demand to know who exactly South Africa’s team think they are to clutter their expensive investment’s schedule with all this so-called international cricket. Arise, then, the IPL, which is far closer to the spirit intended by cricket’s founders than the Nuremberg nationalist nonsense the ersatz international game could easily become.
