Karachi: Five South African players will no longer be availaible in the series against Pakistan as they left for India to participate in the Indian Premier League.<\/strong><\/p>\n

David Miller, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Quinton de Kock, Lungi Ngidi are the five players who were part of the ongoing ODI series in Centurion and Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

Pakistan will now have an upper hand to grab the ODI series which is part of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. The series is currently leveled at 1-1.<\/p>\n

At the start of the ODI series, South Africa’s\u00a0white-ball skipper Temba Bavuma opined that they don’t have any problem with their main players leaving the series midway for IPL.<\/p>\n

While head coach Mark Boucher said\u00a0it\u2019s not ideal but will help their players to gain experience of playing in Indian conditions before the all-important T20 World Cup at the same venues.<\/p>\n

CSA and South African players remained under immense criticism for prioritizing a private league over national duty. Veteran pacer Dale Steyn also questioned CSA’s policy.<\/p>\n

I missed the reason why our big dogs aren\u2019t playing the T20s against Pak?<\/p>\n

Note, the final ODI is scheduled on April 7. The four T20Is will be followed after the 50-over games.<\/p>\n
