Following South Africa’s first victory in the ICC World Test Championship against England, du Plessis was asked to give his opinion on the proposal of a Super Series from 2021. He spoke on the imbalance of fixtures for the other teams and how involving more teams could benefit the game in the long run. He said,
Despite bagging their Test status one a half years ago, teams like Afghanistan and Ireland are struggling to get matches. Moreover, the ICC Test championship involving the top 9 teams has further restricted their smooth evolution in Test cricket.

Meanwhile, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly had proposed the idea of organizing a Super Series involving 4 nations last week and said that they were in discussion with the ECB and CA for the same. He had remarked,
The International Cricket Council (ICC) is planning to add an extra 50 overs world event to the Future Tours Programme and the move by the Big 3 is believed to counter ICC’s plans. Meanwhile, the ECB in a statement said that they were open to discuss the aforementioned aspect.
Thus, at this juncture, all arrangements and possible developments seem to be in its formative stages, although it would certainly be interesting to see if the Super Series comes to fruition. And, if it does, which teams are involved in the tournament.
