Letting Faf Go Was Tough, But It's Time To Move To Younger Players: DC Head Coach Hemang Badani
Pakistan Super League: Delhi Capitals head coach Hemang Badani explained the difficult decision behind releasing Faf du Plessis, stating that it was not easy to part ways with the South African, who has been a star performer in the IPL, but "it was time to focus on the younger players."
Faf, who has participated in 12 IPL seasons and only missed the 2013 edition since beginning his career in 2012, was one of the seven players DC released ahead of the mini auction. The 41-year-old batter later opted out of the 19th edition of the league, announcing that he’ll ‘take on a new challenge’ and compete in the upcoming edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
"It’s never easy to release a player of Faf du Plessis’ calibre. Letting him go was a really tough decision because he has been a stellar performer in the IPL for many years. But we felt it was time to move towards a younger option, someone who could bring a more aggressive style that fits the brand of cricket we want to play," Badani said on JioStar.
