I reckon Heino Kuhn, Andrew Puttick and co might follow. Can't blame them though. This is the beginning of the end for SA cricket I reckon.

You need 15 international caps to sign a Kolpak, I think.

Didn't Simon Harmer get one and he only has 5?

Perhaps it's 5, I don't know. Or perhaps Harmer has a work permit in the UK. All I know is that uncapped players can't get a Kolpak deal.

Farhaan Behardien to lead in T20 as South Africa ring changes | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

Hated the headline but Dane Paterson is in the squad as well as Kuhn, de Bruyn and many others who I've wanted to get a chance! If you thought I was crazy about Cook wait until Dane gets his first wicket. Oh my word that will be the day.

Na, you don't have to have any international caps for a kolpaks deal.

The Kolpak rule explained | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

In 2009, the British Home Office ruled that to sign a Kolpak deal, a player must either have a valid work permit for four years in the UK or have earned a specified number of caps in international cricket.

Doubts raised about AB de Villiers' Test future | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo
Bavuma will be retained and probably an opener will be dropped for AB. Disgusting.

I was just reading that article. Elgar and Cook are solid too. It will be bad to drop them. It also stated that "difficult to make room for de Villiers, despite his reputation. Whether the pressure to find a place". I mean seriously ? ABD is one of the best player and they can't find place for him ?
