South African Cricket Board dismisses PCB's "sacrifice" by prioritizing IPL. |
The South African Cricket Board (CSA) has discredited the "sacrifice" of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) by allowing its most important T20 players to join the Indian Premier League (IPL). The tour was not postponed for the remaining matches of SL6. Some PSL franchise owners are unhappy with the South African Cricket Board's decision, arguing that the PCB should have preferred their league over South Africa's tour.
It is to be noted that PSL 6 was postponed after the corona cases of many players and staff came positive during PSL 6. Only 14 matches were played until the event was postponed, with the remaining 20 expected to be played in June.
The franchise owners had recommended that the tournament be completed in late March and early April. Still, the PCB rejected the proposal, citing severe financial losses to the South African Cricket Board.
The franchise owners had sought permission to approach the Proteas Cricket Board directly, which was rejected. Interestingly, the Proteas themselves have now come under Indian pressure to allow senior players to play in the IPSL. Has been devalued, and now the second-tier team will face Pakistan. "The PCB thought of the loss of the South African Cricket Board, but we did not care," said a senior franchise official. "The PSL franchise owners' proposal to postpone the tour was rejected, and Now the Proteas Cricket Board is sending players to the IPL, putting its own interests first.
He said that PSL is under many problems. There is no plan for the remaining matches yet; there is no hope that foreign players will come to Pakistan to participate in PSL in June. It may be recalled that Kagiso Rabada (Delhi Capitals), Quentin de Kock (Mumbai Indians), Lungi Ngidi (Chennai Super Kings), David Miller (Rajasthan Royals), and Enrich Nokia (Delhi Capitals) will travel to India to participate in the IPL. None of them will be in action against Pakistan. The prosthetics selectors did not select former captain Faf Duplesesfor the series.
