South Africans to miss CPL

The organizers wanted all the overseas players to arrive in time to fulfill the 14-day quarantine process. But a bunch of South African cricketers failed to confirm their travel arrangement and arrival in Trinidad and Tobago by August 1. Although the CPL organizers had organized a charter flight from London to Trinidad, the South African players were unable to get to the UK in time. The flight scarcity, visa requirements, and the obligation to receive government permission were the reasons behind their inability to manage the travel reportedly. As a result, the star cricketers like Rassie van der Dussen, Tabraiz Shamsi, Anrich Nortje, Rilee Rossouw, and Colin Ingram would be missing the Caribbean Premier League this time which is going to start on August 18.
