IPL 2025: Prior to the World Test Championships (WTC) final, South Africa’s head coach Sukri Kandrat has taken a clear position on the availability of players, and that all members of the National Team, which are playing in the IPL 2025, should return by May 26. However, the BCCI has extended the match to 9 days until June 3, but South Africa cricket (CSA) It is stubborn at the end.
The IPL will end on May 25, 2025, but the match has been postponed for a few days as military tension between India and Pakistan is increasing. However, after the situation is normal, the IPL will restart from May 17, and the final will take place on June 3. But this extension has created problems for teams that are preparing for the WTC final.
South Africa will play in the WTC final against Australia from June 11 to 15. Coach Kanrad clarified, “The initial contract with the BCCI and IPL is that the players will return on the 26th after May 25. There is no change from our side. We want our players to return by May 26.”
8 players are added to the WTC squad of South Africa
The CSA has announced its team for the WTC final, and all the selected players are expected to reach the UK by May 31. Players who don’t play in the IPL will leave South Africa on May 30, while IPL stars will have to leave their owners and go to England early.
However, the problem is that 8 players of the WTC final group are still active in the IPL, including 7 teams in the playoff race. These are as follows:
- Carbin Bosh and Ryan Riceldon (Mumbai Indians)
- Kagiso Rabada (Gujarat Titans)
- Triston Puts (Delhi Capitals)
- Eden Margram (Lucknow Super Giants)
- Marco Yannson (Punjab Kings)
- Lungi Engidi (Royal Challengers Bangalore)
- Vien Malter (Sunrisers Hyderabad)
NOC issue and national duty priority
These players were initially allowed to play IPL by May 25, but now they need a new NOC to play more after the competition has grown. But in terms of the importance of the WTC final, it is difficult to allow them by CSA. One of the CSA official said, “There is no biggest respect than the test final. The owner is important to cricket, but the responsibility of the national team is number one.”
There is only 8 days of difference between the IPL and the WTC final, so the South African administration is concerned about the fatigue and product of the players. In such a situation, if a player reaches a playoff or final, they can call them back by the end of the match. Whether there is a contract between the BCCI and the CSA or the South African players will now be interesting and the IPL knock out will be lost.
