Shakib al Hasan allowed to overlook worldwide collection for IPL, Kagiso Rabada says nation comes first

A day after the IPL public sale forward of the 2021 season, two superstars from two completely different groups have gone in reverse instructions on their stance on collaborating within the IPL if it clashes with worldwide commitments.
Shakib al Hasan, who was acquired by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for 3.2 crore INR on the public sale, has been allowed by the Bangladesh Cricket Board to skip subsequent month’s Test collection in opposition to Sri Lanka so he can participate within the IPL, in keeping with Prothom Aalo. On the opposite hand, Kagiso Rabada of Delhi Capitals mentioned that he’ll select South Africa’s collection vs Pakistan if it clashes with a part of the IPL, in keeping with IOL.

Bangladesh’s Test collection in opposition to Sri Lanka that was postponed twice final 12 months as a result of pandemic, is being deliberate in April to maintain up with the ICC’s prolonged World Test Championship (WTC) deadline.
South Africa are scheduled to play 4 T20Is and three ODIs in opposition to Pakistan from April 2 to April 16.
The IPL is reportedly scheduled to start on April 11.
“Shakib wants to play T20s at the moment,” Bangladesh cricket operations head Akram Khan mentioned. “He doesn’t want to play Tests. He has asked for a leave for the IPL. We also don’t want to force someone who doesn’t want to play Tests, which is why the board has decided to grant him the leave.”
“Country comes first and I may miss a week of the IPL if the Pakistan series is scheduled at the same time the IPL starts. Delhi has been my home in India, but national duty is a priority,” Rabada was quoted as saying however.
