Who are the highest paid South African cricketers?

The big-spending franchises in the IPL (Indian Premier League) have invested in some South African talent for this year’s competition.

With Heinrich Klaasen called up to replace the disgraced former Australian skipper, Steve Smith at the Rajasthan Royals, the number of South Africans to look out for now sits at nine.

The quick was found guilty of a Level 2 offence of the ICC Code of Conduct. That relates to “inappropriate and deliberate physical contact with a player”.

Rabada has also been fined 50% of his match fee and handed three demerit points after a disciplinary hearing following his denial of the charge.

If you wonder what all the fuss is about, it’s this little incident with Steve Smith.
