Franchise cricket has taken over the world of cricket. Like the umbrella of a frog, as the number of tournaments is increasing, so is the interest of the cricketers. Many people now give more priority to franchise cricket than the national game. 

South Africa's domestic T20 tournament coincides with the next edition of SA20 and the Proteas' tour of New Zealand. As a result, South Africa announced a weak squad for the Test series in New Zealand. The main cricketers of the team will play in the SA20 tournament. The whole cricket world is criticizing the decision of South Africa. Legendary cricketer Steve Waugh also criticized.

Finally, Shukri Conrad, the coach of South Africa's Test team, opened up about this. “I do not think Steve Waugh is going to care what I say, but I love how everybody outside South Africa has become experts on South African cricket,” he said, as quoted by ESPNCricinfo.

“Our hand has been forced. Everybody understands the SA20 has to happen. SA20 has to happen because it is the lifeblood of South African cricket. If it does not happen, we are not going to have Test cricket anyway,” he added.

For now, South Africa has no choice but to tour New Zealand with the second-ranked team. However, “I love how everyone outside the country have become experts on South African cricket. Our hand has been forced, everyone understands the SA20 has to happen, it is the lifeblood of local cricket. If it doesn’t happen, we won’t have Test cricket anyway,” Conrad told reporters.

“It is still South Africa going to New Zealand. We sing the same national anthem and wear the same national team blazer. Anything we come back with, a draw or if we can sneak a win, that will be massive for us,” Conrad added.

The first match of the two-match Test series will be played on February 4 at Mount Maunganui. The second Test will begin on February 13, in Hamilton.
