Would welcome returning Kolpak players if they are willing to play for SA: Graeme Smith

By Saurabh Sharma April 21, 2020 • 19:30 PM View: 1076

Johannesburg, April 21: Cricket South Africa (CSA) director of cricket Graeme Smith said that the team will welcome back any player who would want to return to the international fold after the end of the Kolpak rule.

The loophole currently gives anyone with a work permit from a country that has an associate trading agreement with the European Union the same rights as an EU worker. Dozens of South African cricketers have signed lucrative contracts with county cricket sides over the years but this automatically disqualifies them from playing for the national team.
