South African pacer Dale Steyn AFP Former South African pacer Dale Steyn found himself in the firing line after his comments on Indian Premier League (IPL). Steyn, who had made himself unavailable for IPL 2021, said that tournaments like Pakistan Super League and Lankan Premier League are more rewarding as a player than the IPL where the focus is more on the money and not the game itself. âI wanted some time off. I found that playing in these other leagues was slightly more rewarding as a player. I think when you go to IPL, there are such big squads and so many big names and so much emphasis on maybe the amount of money players earn and everything like that, so sometimes, somewhere down the line, cricket gets forgotten," Steyn said in an interview with 'cricket Pakistan' official YouTube Channel.
