LOL.. not may remain now. Most of the white players have shifted to countries such as England and South Africa, and some have even ended up in New Zealand and associate nations such as USA. A few months back, there was an article in EspnCricinfo, which claimed that more than 50 South African players moved to England to play county cricket under Kolpak rule, during the last two decades. Can you believe this number? More than 4 dozen players giving up their dream of playing international cricket and signing contracts to play county cricket. They did that because they will never get a chance to play international cricket for South Africa under the quota system.
I was referring to the current crop of players that are available for selection and the team they picked, sure i have read about the mass migration of players to different countries and it will not help South Africa in any way to keep playing at a level they once played if the pool of cricketers keeps on reducing.
The list includes some of the top quality players, such as Morné Morkel, Duanne Olivier, Heino Kuhn, Marchant de Lange, Rilee Rossouw, Kyle Abbott, David Wiese, Simon Harmer and Hardus Viljoen. And yes.. Simon Harmer tops the list..
I didn't knew that Morné Morkel moved to Surrey and playing for them and i do believe that players like ABD retired early because of the issues they had with the cricket board.
