The five will link up with Proteas teammate Lungi Ngidi in Dubai for the second part of the IPL this year, scheduled to be held from September 19 to October 15. Miller is expected to feature for the Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday against Markram’s Punjab Kings, also in Dubai, while Rabada and his table-topping Delhi Capitals will wrap up the first round of the resumption of the IPL on Wednesday.
The IPL was suspended in May after several players and back-room staff tested positive for Covid-19 amid a devastating second wave in India. Though they are not part of Boucher’s World Cup squad, they are his former players and teammates and their IPL experience and knowledge of the conditions will be available to the Proteas coach too.
Dubai will host the majority of the matches followed by Sharjah, while Abu Dhabi will see the least action.
