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.
Despite his retirement from Test cricket, Du Plessis agreed to play for South Africa in the limited-overs game.
In IPL 2021, the 37-year-old was likewise in excellent form, receiving the player of the final title. However, he was not chosen for the 15-man roster by the selectors.

Faf du Plessis said that Cricket South Africa (CSA) has strict limitations about his availability. Only letting him to play in abroad competitions for a limited amount of time.
“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
Du Plessis had a great T20I record, scoring 1528 runs with a strike rate of 35.53 in 50 appearances. Although he has a T20I century, the former skipper is unlikely to play in the T20 World Cup in 2022.
