The BCCI has strongly stated in the past that any India player hoping to make an appearance in overseas franchise league will have to cut off all ties with BCCI before promising their commitment to those leagues.
Though Dhoni has retired from international cricket but a BCCI official told the Indian Express that MSD will have to quit playing the IPL before heading to South Africa.
Incidentally, all 6 franchises of the CSA T20 League were bought by the IPL team owners.

The murmurs of a rift between Ravindra Jadeja and Chennai Super Kings got louder last month when the all-rounder removed all posts related to CSK from his official Instagram account.
According to a report in the Times of India, nothing is well between the two till now as Jadeja and CSK have not been in touch since IPL 2022. The report adds that unless something miraculous happens in the next couple of months, their 10-year-long partnership might end soon.
Talks of tension between Jadeja and the IPL franchise started doing the rounds during the 2022 edition when the all-rounder relinquished his captaincy to focus and concentrate more on his game. Interestingly, he was made the skipper just before the season began but the Super Kings had a poor run under him.
MS Dhoni was once again handed over the captaincy duties midway and he accepted that captaincy burdened Jadeja's preparations and performances.
However, the speculations will start to intensify if a formal proposal of trading comes from any other franchise in November when the trading window opens up. The report in TOI further states that a couple of top franchises, who will need an Indian captain sooner rather than later, have been in touch with Jadeja. But there has been no official communication on those lines.

Ever since MS Dhoni retired from international cricket, Rishabh Pant had to constantly prove his worth in the Indian team. And the wicketkeeper-batter continues to do so as Dinesh Karthik emerged as a perfect candidate for the finisher's job.
When asked about the potential threat he faced from DK over his spot in the India line-up for the Asia Cup, Pant was quoted as saying by Zee Hindustan that he and DK don't think on those lines. 'We as individuals always want to give our 100 per cent to the team. The rest depends on the coach and the captain and how the team could get an advantage from that,' added the southpaw.
Though Pant and Karthik have been part of India's T20 team since June, both have different roles. While Pant dons the wicketkeeping gloves, Karthik plays as a finisher.

Scenes during Sunday's London derby between Chelsea and Tottenham in the Premier League turned ugly when managers Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte got involved in an ugly war of words.
Chelsea was the better side on the night and Koulibaly put them ahead in the 19th minute before the Spurs equalised in the 68th minute. However, the Blues were furious as Tuchel believed Kai Havertz had been fouled in the build-up. This led to a face-off between the two managers.
James then put Chelsea ahead again and it seemed that they would take all 3 points But Harry Kane stole Chelsea's thunder with a dramatic equaliser 6 minutes into injury time as the game ended in a 2-2 draw.
Tempers ran high during the post-match handshake too as Tuchel and Conte were involved in a fiery brawl at the conclusion that resulted in red cards for both managers.
However, both Tuchel and Conte played down the spat with Tuchel stating that they both fought for their clubs.
