Cricket South Africa on Friday said that none of its players contracted in the Indian Premier League (IPL) will play for South Africa in the four-match T20I series against Pakistan. However, the contracted players will participate in the three-match One-day International series.

Cricket South Africa said in a statement, “In terms of an agreement between CSA and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), those players awarded Indian Premier League contracts will be released early to join their respective teams.”

Former captain Faf du Plessis, who also has an IPL deal, was not included in either squad. CSA announced an extended 22-man squad for the ODIs because of COVID-19 , while 17 players were named for the T20 games.

Quinton de Kock, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, David Miller and Anrich Nortje will play in the ODI series.

Four uncapped players were included in the squads – all-rounder Wihan Lubbe and fast bowlers Lizaad Williams, Sisanda Magala and Migael Pretorius.

Test players Aiden Markram and Wiaan Mulder were recalled to the one-day squad after not having played in the one-day team since 2019.

The one-day internationals will be played between April 2 and 7 and the T20 matches between April 10 and 16.

The matches will be shared between Johannesburg and Centurion with both teams staying in a bio-secure environment within easy reach of both venues.
