South Africa could survive the isolation of apartheid era in seventies and eighties due to their marvellous domestic structure. The Curry Cup of South Africa, like Sheffield Shield of Australia, is outstanding tournament," he said.
Looking back at his career, Imran said he would never have played in the Kerry Packer series had he known that the participating players would eventually be banned.
"...if I were aware of my subsequent ban in world cricket, I wouldn't have joined the league."
