South African cricket legend Faf du Plessis has spoken out against his rejection from the 2021 World T20 squad. Claiming that the board’s requirements were tough to meet. Faf du Plessis did not play in the T20 World Cup for the first time since his international debut in 2011.

“I am on a different journey now. Last year when I played for SA against England the plan was very much to play at the World Cup and that was the talk. It was really difficult though for Cricket SA and myself to find something that still allowed me to play overseas because that’s obviously why I retired from Test cricket especially. he said
“They tried to but we couldn’t find a middle ground and I think they wanted people who were available all the time and that made it a challenge for the guys like myself and Imran Tahir because we were playing overseas as well. he added
Meanwhile, following South Africa’s T20 World Cup campaign in 2021. Head coach Mark Boucher stated that every player will be evaluated for selection. Nonetheless, he stated that the board and Du Plessis were unable to reach an agreement.
