CSA has confirmed that its players participating in IPL 2025 will leave the tournament ahead of the playoffs to focus on preparing for the upcoming World Test Championship final against Australia. A total of eight South African cricketers from IPL 2025 have been named in the WTC final squad.
"We are discussing it with CSA. They have the World Test Championship final from June 11. They have qualified for the first time. It’s very important for them. We have requested them to let the players who are not selected to stay back and let the players who are willing to stay back for the entire tournament," Arun Dhumal told TOI.
