Why frenkel defect is not observed in CsCl?

In Frenkel defects, the ions leave their positions and occupy interstitial sites.
CsCl is does not show Frenkel defect because -
-The ratio of radius between the two is not sufficient to allow the ions to occupy interstitial sites.
-The coordination number of CS is high which leads to the strong force of attraction between the ions so they can not move from their space.
