Former Proteas captain Faf du Plessis said there is a lot more to his exclusion from the squad that took part in the ICC T20 World Cup.
Du Plessis said he knew his fate was sealed when he was not included in the squad that travelled to Sri Lanka for their last World Cup preparatory tour before they headed to the United Arab Emirates .
“I don’t think that [my performances in the IPL] mattered because they had already decided they will pick a team that was playing together in all the games leading up to the World Cup. “It is not my decision but I am enjoying my cricket at the moment. I am playing in T20 leagues around the world and I have a busy schedule with a lot of tournaments coming up.
“It was it was very tough, especially to have that put on them on the morning of the match. That was a difficult situation because players are so focused on playing the game of cricket that they don’t always think about the other stuff. “I think what is important is that the team shows a united front and it was good to see they did take that stance together in support of Black Lives Matter .
