South Africa have bowed to pressure and will allow players to feature in the IPL until a week before the World Test Championship final against Australia.
As some of Australia's biggest names continued to weigh up whether to return to India, Cricket South Africa backflipped on plans to pull their stars out of the tournament.
South African officials had initially indicated on Wednesday players would have to finish in the IPL on May 25, when the final was initially meant to be held before the tournament's postponement due to the conflict between India and Pakistan.
