CSA facing same issue:

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has released their top players for the IPL 2021. Kagiso Rabada (Delhi Capitals) , Quinton de Kock (Mumbai Indians), Lungi Ngidi (CSK) , David Miller (Rajasthan Royals) and Anrich Nortje (Delhi Capitals) all were suppose to be part of the Proteas T20 team for the series against Pakistan but have will play in IPL 2021 - possibly due to pressure from IPL franchises.

Trying to make light of it but to me that is disgraceful.

“The T20 squad is also a good indication of our depth as a cricket nation with the loss of some of the senior players to the IPL. We have a massive 18 months of T20 cricket coming up, with two ICC T20 World Cups for players to contest. We as a Selection Panel are looking forward to seeing what the new additions to the team will contribute to the Proteas’ system."

I would assume that the players rather than the IPL franchises pressured CSA to release them. It is a bit of a loss for the IPL franchises to lose these players, but for the players to lose their IPL paychecks is to them a very big loss.
 
Why organize international cricket during that time anyway? I thought ICC has given a seperate window to IPL. If boards are still organizing international cricket at that time, totally expect the top players to skip it for the IPL. No point in crying then as players would not dismiss their million dollar contract for some random bilateral matches.

Could be but what does that say about the players? and should a board bow down like that?

Would you miss out on million dollars contract for some Random T20I matches?
Remember players are human too and they might have calculated that Ipl check in their budget as well. That is a lot of money to miss out on.
 
Can't blame the players. Wasim, Waqar would play county cricket and avoid playing for Pakistan in that time period
 
It’s the players who put pressure on CSA. Good for them. IPL is rebuilding the world of cricket for everyone’s benefit.
 
Pak should have rescheduled PSL in April and also sent fringe players to SAF. PCB don't think out of the box though

Yes but who they work for?

CSA or IPL?
 
My heartfelt condolences to anyone who thinks or believes that IPL franchises indeed have to "pressurise" players to come and play....

They are employed by CSA - their central contract does not mention seasonal work.

Clearly an exception has been made.

Yes and if they continue with your approach most will not be employed by CSA and continue playing county/Leagues and making money.

It's not my approach, it's what's on their employment contract.

If the contract says they are employed 9 months of the year then yes they can do what they like.
 
Look guys, its all about the money here. BCCI has contracts with every board and will pay them a part of the percentage that is paid to the international players and considering that every ( almost) country has atleast 2-3 highly paid stars, they are bound to get paid handsomely, so why would they want to miss out on that? Its eventually economics and struggling boards like SA and NZ would benefit in the long run. So whilst the hegemony of BCCI/IPL is not really a good thing, it benefits others to

Because you and your compatriots will play any T20 league under the sun as long as your bank balance likes it.

Now there's also T10.
 
Of course, it's another matter if South Africa are still strong enough to beat Pakistan in these T20 games.
 
The problem is that series was arranged after all these IPL deals were done. If it wasn’t for SA having some series cancelled, this situation would have not arisen.
 
So the players couldn’t miss even a week or so of a two month long tournament once in some years for national duty.
 
Money and Greed - 1
Cricker and Real Fans - 0

Before anyone jumps on me, this is my opinion as a real cricket fan not a business lover. :inti
 
SA is the first Non big 3 board with a proper cricketing infrastructure that is on its way to be destroyed.

And it will remain a force apparently.
 
Not sure if Temba Bavuma will get a fair chance to see what his best XI is before the World Cup.
 
CSA will be getting a percentage of the IPL players income too from what I hear.

Win win for the CSA players and Board.

In addition it seems that most of the South African players won't be available for PSL.

No all international cricket. Just limited overseas cricket.

And players sighed contracts assuming they were free of national duty and franchise's sighed them on promice of full season availability. Both lose because CSA want some cash to recover from their loss from england tour, that was cancelled due to carelessness by CSA themselves.

I think they comfortably are despite all the big names missing.

They almost won the series recently on Pakistani square turners. In South Africa, well...... unless Hafeez goes into beast mode every game, they should win quite easily.
 
IPL took precedence over T20 WC.
IPL has a special window in the calendar year which no other league has.
IPL will take precedence over International T20 Cricket always.

These things can be considered as facts now.
 
Ipl can easily replace these players, the SA players can’t replace the £££ , therefore I think it’s a safe assumption to make that the players decided to opt out on their own accord.
 
And then people are like Pikachu face when Morgan says they learnt lot from IPL. The fact is its all about money to praise IPL. Otherwise nobody would give a damn. BCCI and it's greed is on its way to destroy international cricket. Already IPL is extended and is creeping into international calendar more and more. We see England players resting themselves in tests to keep themselves fresh for IPL. And now this.

So when plyers praise PSL its because of good cricket. But IPL is only money

Nobody gives a damn because you say so but everyone gives a damn bit PSL.

Your country has a private league too. Have some shame instead if the blatant double standards and hypocrisy
 
Its players choice nothing their board can do. I am sure there are lot of good players in SA who could not make it to national team earlier and they have a good chance to prove their worth. Any South African here who can shed some light about new talent?
 
It's probably the players. No one would want to miss out on a chance to make life changing money. Everyone on this forum would do the same. Silly to think otherwise.

If IPL allowed Pakistan players and Babar was being offered 1.5m.dollars you think he tour South Africa?

As the saying goes, if you can't beat them join them.

In reality all cricket fans would prefer international cricket over these leagues. It's not like we get paid for being in them. Indians might blindly support the way that IPL infringes on the international calendar but you don't realise you're only hurting yourselves and the game over the long term.

International cricket has been violated by these leagues and it's only going to get worse.

PSL doesn't encroach on international cricket and make boards bow to their diktats. Much of international cricket continues even in PSL background. I have no issues with IPL window but international cricket takes priority always

Oh He will surely ignore IPL to play exciting T20s against a depleted SA. No Pakistan player will ever sell their country for money. History proves it.
 
Players should also remember that if it wasn't for their country picking them in the first place there would be no big contract on table.

All boards get 20 per cent of the amount paid to the player. Bcci pays this and its not taken out of the players account.

I dont know the exact amount all SA players combined are getting from the IPL. But considering that Morris alone is getting $2mn plus, the total amount is surely in excess of 5mn and close to 10mn.

Means CSA will make 1 to 2mn. Thats close to the money they would have made from the full Aus tour.

If IPL has a window, why is there international cricket?
 
Good decision. IPL would be boring without international stars. There'd be more eyeballs watching Rabada bowling to De kock than Shaheen to De Kock. IPL is a spectacle while Bilaterals between 2 mid table teams is a snoozefest.
Gotto give what the majority of the fans want.
 
Also with T20 WC in India this year, stars trying to get some game time against the best bowlers in the same conditions as a WC is a win win for everyone.

IMO, these SA players are getting overpaid ....I humbly request IPL committee to half these players' salaries
 
Lol @ people mocking Steyn. He’s very realistic about which league is the biggest, but as usual, a simple tweet can send the entire population of India into recoil and make them second guess their place as a global power in world cricket.

I wonder if this Steyn saga hurt more than Maria Sharapova’s comment of not knowing Sachin? :13:

I assume Kolpak deals are more than disgraceful then.
 
Cricket SA bows to powerful BCCI as key Proteas players are released for IPL

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has once again flexed its powerful muscles to ensure that South African players with Indian Premier League (IPL) contracts will not play for the Proteas during the T20 series against Pakistan.

This season’s IPL clashes with the inbound limited overs tour by Pakistan next month‚ which consists of three ODIs and four T20s to be played at SuperSport Park in Centurion and Wanderers in Johannesburg.

The series starts with the ODIs on April 2 and ends with the T20s on April 16 and Pakistan have no problems with key players unavailable‚ as their players don’t play in the IPL.

Announcing both squads on Thursday‚ Cricket South Africa (CSA) convenor of selectors Victor Mpitsang said they had to come to an agreement with the BCCI for the release from the Proteas of IPL-contracted players to join their respective teams in India.

Players who will not be available for the T20 series are Quinton de Kock (Mumbai Indians)‚ Kagiso Rabada (Delhi Capitals)‚ Lungi Ngidi (Chennai Super Kings)‚ David Miller (Rajasthan Royals) and Anrich Nortje (Delhi Capitals)

“We’re very excited about these two squads that we have selected for our home tour against Pakistan‚” Mpitsang said.

“The ODI squad boasts the calibre of talent we have in South African cricket and I’m really excited to see how they go about the series. We have enough experience within that squad to provide a good challenge to Pakistan when they arrive on our shores.

“The T20 squad is also a good indication of our depth as a cricket nation with the loss of some of the senior players to the IPL. We have a massive 18 months of T20 cricket coming up‚ with two ICC T20 World Cups for players to contest.

“We as a selection panel are looking forward to seeing what the new additions to the team will contribute to the Proteas’ system.

“The T20 Challenge created a good headache for us in showing off the many talented cricketers we have in our system. It’s a good headache to have and we’re confident that we have a squad that can and will ask a lot of questions of our visitors and make the nation proud.

“To Temba [Bavuma]‚ our new captain‚ all the best to him and the rest of the teams for the upcoming tour‚” he concluded.”

1) IPL dates were set first, before this series
Who is encroaching on who?

2) PCB has just set remaining PSL matches right at the time of Asia cup, despite knowing Asia cup tentative dates. At least only some players from SA will not play becuase of IPL, the series will still go on. Here PCB is ensuring an entire Asia cup won't happen because of their league Where is the international cricket taking priority here?

3) BCCI didn't force anyone. It's the players who want to play in IPL

Yeah but what you guys are missing is the fact they're contracted to the CSA year round, they're not exempt from their obligations for the 1-2 months the IPL is going on; Pretty much all central contracts with cricket boards strictly stipulate that you're their main employer and that your duties to the national teams comes before any league, the board of course has discretionary powers to allow players to play for their clubs over the national team but still reinforces the fact that they are the ones in control. It's not about the fact that the IPL is way wealthier and these players make millions, it's about contractual obligations, I get the feeling that most of you on this forum don't know how contracts work but maybe when you land a white collar job some day you'll understand more about business practices.
 
You get a feeling that no cricket team takes Pakistan seriously whether they are playing at home or away.
 
There is also another point of view from a SA side - will they get better practice for the T20I World Cup against Pakistan or in IPL?

Tell that to SALMAN BUTT, MD. ASIF and Md.Amir. If pak players can do illegal and criminal things like fixing and selling their country then let alone skipping PAK matches for IPL if given an opportunity. Every Pak player will revolt to play in IPL. Its money that matters.

But some live in their imaginary world. Can one expect players of an international cricket team skipping their matches against India to play PSL ? But they do it when they have to play against Pak. It certainly speaks about the quality of a cricket team.

Its not a office job. If they will pressurise them to follow contractual obligation then more and more early retirements like ABD will happen and free lancers will emerge, also CSA cant get BCCI angry as their broadcast deals are very much dependent on Indian team touring them. So everything goes for a toss when its about IPL. Thats the reality.

PSL is more important for PCB than ASIA CUP thats what Ehsani Mani is saying. Then ppl talk about IPL taking over International cricket. No one cares about International cricket as its not so beneficial for them in terms of money as compared to the private leagues.
 
CSA will make $1.6mn from Bcci for releasing the players. In comparison CSA had said it missed revenues of $2.6mn due to the entire cancelled tour by Australia.

Obviously CSA was going to release the players.
 
Very Sad, If thats the case than stop playing bilateral series and only play in ICC events and rest of the time play league like in soccer, ICC needs to look into this.
 
Money talks at the end of the day. That's how the world works. CSA desperately needs a significant cash infusion and the players like others will do what is best for their bank balance in today's tough Covid economic times. If we were in the same position, we would have done the same thing.
 
May be CSA wants their main players to get used to Indian conditions before big t20 WC

Isn't only 10 per cent? Or has it been increased to 20 per cent recently?

Or balance playing the bilaterals & leagues like BCCI and Indian players do. No need to play every 2-penny league in the world, incl one in Wakanda, like players of some countries do and then complain about not giving importance to bilaterals. India plays more bilateral test matches with more significant teams than anyone else in the world. Pakistan does not have a real test team.

Some people only remember the importance of bilaterals just before IPL.

It’s all about the money, nothing else matters. I mean if these SA players are getting paid ridiculous amounts then who can blame them ? It’s a cash bonanza, let them take it.
I feel sorry for Rabada though, compare him to what Morris is getting and it shows what a joke these leagues are.

Overall I don’t think it’s a massive deal tbh, SA will still have some decent players and will be competitive at home.
