IPL 2022: South African cricketers face test of loyalty ahead of tournament, says Dean Elgar

Firstpost  

South Africa are set to play three one-dayers and two Tests against Bangladesh starting March 18, while the IPL is scheduled to be held from 26 March to 29 May Johannesburg: South African Test skipper Dean Elgar has urged his teammates to choose national duty in a series against Bangladesh over the upcoming IPL as it is a test of loyalty for them and they must prioritise their country. “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. “They mustn’t forget that Test cricket or one-day cricket got them into the IPL and not the other way around.” As many as 11 South African players, including six Test regulars and three ODI players, have been roped in by different franchises at this year’s IPL In fact, South Africa’s pace attack — comprising Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje and Marco Jansen — and top batters Aiden Markram, Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius and limited-overs wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock — all have IPL contracts. We can’t not have our best players around when the team is called upon to go out and perform.” CSA had allowed the players to play the IPL midway through a white-ball series against Pakistan last year and CEO Pholetsi Moseki said the board will stick to the policy of giving an option to players “because we don’t want to force anything on them”.
