There has not been a lot of uplifting news coming of out of South Africa even before the pandemic. Therefore, while it might seem strange for South Africa to be showing interest in the IPL 2020, they have good reasons.

Cricke South Africa have been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Those reasons seemed to be piling up even as the cricket world went into a shutdown. While there has been a thaw in resuming cricket relations, South Africa have been left out in the cold by problems that put their own sponsorship relationships in trouble not to mention putting the South African cricketers in peril as far as their futures. But the performance of AB de Villiers gives them hope.
