Afridi did not directly mention that IPL is the major reason as he wrote ‘T20 leagues’ but it is crystal clear after Rabada, Anrich Nortje, De Kock and many more have flown away to feature in the cash-rich T20 league.

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!! https://t.co/5McUzFuo8R
