Dean Elgar has urged his teammates to choose national duty in a series against Bangladesh over the upcoming Indian Premier Leageu (IPL) as it is a test of loyalty for them and they must prioritise their country. South Africa are set to play three one-dayers and two Tests against Bangladesh starting March 18, while the IPL is scheduled to be held from March 26 to May 29. The ODIs will be held on March 18, 20 and 23, followed by two Tests starting on March 31 and ending on April 12. According to 'ESPNcricinfo', Cricket South Africa has left it on the players to decide between the lucrative league and turning up for the country in the Bangladesh series. "The players need to give Cricket South Africa an indication of if they are keen to go to the IPL or if they are keen to play for the Test side. It's a bit of a tough one putting that in the players' box but this I guess, this is where you see where players' loyalty lies," Elgar said. "They mustn't forget that Test cricket or one-day cricket got them into the IPL and not the other way around."

Usman Khawaja and David Warner put on 156 runs for the opening wicket to frustrate the Pakistan bowlers. Khawaja was dismissed for a brilliant 97 while Warner made 68. Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith then took centrestage as Australia reached 271 for two at stumps on Day 3. Despite some stare downs from Pakistan bowlers, Warner took on the opposition with a smile on his face.
