IPL 2022: Franchises in BIG trouble as South Africa name 8 IPL-bound players in ODI squad for Bangladesh series

CSA earlier confirmed that the choice between the Test series against Bangladesh and the IPL would be left to the players while Test captain Dean Elgar suggested the choice would show "where players' loyalty lies".  

South Africa on Tuesday announced a 16-member squad for the upcoming home ODI series against Bangladesh, starting on March 18. The Temba Bavuma-led side will miss the services of Sisanda Magala and Anrich Nortje for the series. Magala missed out owing to fitness concerns while Nortje is still recovering from his hip injury.

The three-match series, which will be played across Centurion and Johannesburg, will finish on March 23, just three days before the start of the IPL, which could mean the South African players chosen for the ODIs could miss some of their franchises' early matches.

South Africa's squad includes eight players who are set to take part in the IPL -- Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram, Dwaine Pretorius and Marco Jansen.
