South African Test captain Dean Elgar said on Monday he was “comfortable” with the decision of key players to make themselves unavailable for a Test series against Bangladesh, which starts here on Thursday. 

Earlier this month, Elgar called for players contracted to the IPL to put country ahead of club. But all South Africa’s IPL-linked players opted to play in the T20 tournament.  “A lot has happened since my last interview around this topic,” Elgar told a pre-series press conference in Durban.
