Keshav Maharaj will leave domestic cricket and play in BPL 2024

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has sent very less experienced players to New Zealand for the Test series due to SA20 204. Meanwhile, Keshav Maharaj’s SA20 2024 campaign came to an end on 10 February, with his team Durban Super Giants losing to Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the final.

But Maharaj would not have been available for the Hamilton Test starting on February 13 anyway, as Cricket South Africa (CSA) policy requires players to spend a week at the host venue to acclimatise to the conditions.

CSA did not allow players to play in ILT20 2024?

According to reports, some South African players taking part in the SA20 2024 had expressed their desire to play in the final week of the ongoing ILT20 2024, but they did not request a NOC as the CSA was not ready for it.

On the other hand, Keshav Maharaj will also not be able to take part in the domestic four-day competition resuming in South Africa this week. Fortune Barishal have reached the top four in the points table of the ongoing BPL 2024, and they have four important matches left in the tournament, where Maharaj can prove to be a big help for them.
