The novel coronavirus (Covid-19) has impacted on many things‚ with one of those being when players who are at the twilight stage of their careers knowing when to call time.
This is critical from a South African perspective as players like AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis don’t have much left in them from an international perspective. De Villiers retired in 2018‚ but has been vocal in terms of returning to the national team for the T20 World Cup.
Cricket South Africa’s director of cricket Graeme Smith said it was going to be tough to predict what would take place in the next few months‚ but players need to be ready for anything. They find themselves in a predicament as there’s no domestic T20 cricket around the world at the moment to keep their games in fine fettle.
“We’ll have to assess players on form and that always was going to be the case in terms of who performs and who takes their opportunities. When that event comes around‚ what’s the best squad that we can take to a tournament to get us an opportunity to win us the trophy?”
