List Of SA Players In IPL 2025 & WTC Final 2025

Cricket South Africa has announced that the national team will begin training for the World Test Championship (WTC) final on June 3. This development effectively clears the way for eight South African players participating in IPL 2025 to represent their franchises in the playoffs without any scheduling conflict.

The IPL, which was temporarily suspended for a week, is set to resume on May 17, with the final scheduled for June 3.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Cricket South Africa (CSA) director Enoch Nkwe clarified that the national team will begin preparations for the World Test Championship (WTC) final on June 3. He mentioned that discussions regarding player availability are ongoing at the highest level within the board.

Earlier, Nkwe stated that while players are free to make their own decisions about continuing in the IPL beyond May 25, the South African team remains committed to its original preparation schedule for the World Test Championship final.

He emphasized that individual choices would be respected, but the team’s focus and planning for the crucial clash against Australia would remain unchanged.

“Correction – the squad will resume training for the game on June 3rd. The matter is being discussed higher up than me. At ground level, we are focusing on preps for the WTC final,”

“But one thing we’ve made it clear, and we are finalising that with IPL and BCCI, is sticking to our original plan when it comes to the WTC preparations. Obviously, with May 26 being the latest for the Test guys to come back.“
