Probably. It is for who has been playing. Suppose Phangiso getting makes it obvious.Were there targets for the contracts too?
Is their not also agreements with the franchises? If you have a national contract you do not get a franchise contract? So that could be part of it as well....Probably. It is for who has been playing. Suppose Phangiso getting makes it obvious.
CSA Pick who they want to. Then the franchises have to work around it. So picking Phangiso was purely a CSA decision & the odd thing is the selectors aren't even picking him which is the right thing as Bjorn Fortuin is often picked ahead of him as he is a more complete spinner at the Lions.Is their not also agreements with the franchises?

Yes I understand this but there must be some discussion, the franchises need to work out their finances also and can't just wait to see who CSA pick-up there has to be backroom talk... so I`m just wondering if sometimes there is a unofficial agreements for players to get picked up for a year or two once chosen. Don't get me wrong I am sure there is quota choices as well...CSA Pick who they want to. Then the franchises have to work around it.

“We have to compete,” Elgar said in Worcester on Wednesday.
“We have to compete against a very good England Lions side. To get that competitive edge will be a big thing for us. Naturally the guys will have that instinct in them so we have an important three days, weather permitting.
“We have to crack on tomorrow and hit the ground running,” he added. “In my opinion the series starts tomorrow. It’s going to be vital for us to have three good days of cricket.”
“I’m very excited,” Elgar said of the captaincy. “It has been a dream of mine since I have been a young boy and even if it doesn’t happen at Lord’s it’s still a great opportunity for me to be a senior leader within the group. I’m looking forward to it.
“It’s a good reflection point of view for us,” he said of the last few weeks.
“As mentioned, we have a lot of new faces which is exciting for us. There is a different energy within the test side irrespective of how things have gone in the past. The energy is always in a good place for test cricket, which is what I want for the boys.”
