I don't think National importance for them, it's sympathy for CSA just to CWC qualification. both league players playing for money only.
Except few retired players, ILT20 had maximum active international players from England, Australia, Srilanka still they not paused league. here CSA played sympathy card just fool their fans, did they paused SA20 league during ICCs big tournament U19 women's world cup in their country ?
