Sad To See" South Africa Release Players For IPL Amid Pakistan Series : Shahid Afridi

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

After Pakistan's 2-1 ODI series win over a South Africa, former all-rounder Shahid Afridi took to Twitter to criticise Cricket South Africa (CSA) for releasing several players for the IPL 2021 in the middle of the three-match ODI series against Pakistan. South Africa, playing without several star players -- including Quinton de Kock and Kagiso Rabada, showed great grit and determination but eventually suffered a 28-run loss in the third and the final ODI. Questioning CSA's decision, Afridi said it was "sad to see T20 leagues influencing international cricket".





"Surprising to see @OfficialCSA allowing players to travel for IPL in the middle of a series. It is sad to see T20 leagues influencing international cricket. Some rethinking needs to be done!!" Afridi tweeted.




Afridi also congratulated Pakistan on their "fine series win". He was particularly impressed with opener Fakhar Zaman who scored back-to-back centuries in the last two ODIs and played a key role in Pakistan's win. Afridi also praised the batting of Pakistan skipper Babar Azam, who missed out on his century by just six runs in the third ODI, getting out to Andile Phehlukwayo on the last ball of their innings.

If Pakistanis were allowed in the IPL, he would have made a different comment. Lol.

He has a valid point, international cricket should be above all the leagues no matter what. Players should leave the leagues if there is an international series, not other way around.

If Pakistanis were allowed in the IPL, he would have made a different comment. Lol.

Not just comment , next day itself he would have applied for Indian visa
If no IPL team buys him atleast he can do commentary

[Baby Leone]

its up to them if they send their main player to IPL or some Somali league. after all match against Pakistan is happening and if they will loose it will effect their ranking.

Afridi should do some better things to be in news then this useless unimportant and cheap stunts.

All we see is Afridi's butt hurt. IPL brings fortunes for the players than dingy match against Pakistan. CSA did the right thing for players.

 

[RealNapster]

why does he need to feel sad

Well the decision favour us because we won the match and hence the series but that's not the point.

We won and still he thinks SA shouldn't have done that. Says something

BCCI + IPL > PCB + PSL

He's expressing an opinion. Nevertheless, we won, improved our rankings, got a trophy and improved team confidence.
