The BCCI has assured that they will seek clarity on this from CSA. The report add that the board had also recently informed the franchises that it “will send the availability details of overseas players shortly.”
For Delhi, Kagiso Rabada (17 matches, 30 wickets) and Anrich Nortje (16 matches, 22 wickets) were extremely important in their run to the final and understandably, the side would not want to be without them.
Going by the schedule, the SA players could be unavailable for the initial phase as the IPL begins on April 9 or 10.
In response to our query, the CSA said that they will address any and all circumstances surrounding the IPL directly with the BCCI. Hemang Amin, the COO of the IPL, did not respond.
Apart from Rabada and Nortje, Faf du Plessis and Lungi Ngidi (Chennai Super Kings), Quinton de Kock (Mumbai Indians), AB de Villiers (Royals Challengers Bangalore) and David Miller (Rajasthan Royals) are the other South Africans retained by the franchises.
