The South African Cricketers’ Association (SACA) rejected a move by the embattled board of Cricket South Africa (CSA) to find a solution to an issue which is the subject of ongoing legal action.
SACA repeated its call for the board to resign as the rift between players and board showed no signs of being healed, despite the suspension of chief executive Thabang Moroe and the appointment of Jacques Faul as interim chief executive, Graeme Smith as interim director of cricket and Mark Boucher as head coach of the national team.
CSA announced on Monday that David Richardson, the former chief executive of the International Cricket Council, had been appointed to form a steering committee to make recommendations on the future structure of South African domestic cricket.
Richardson said on Monday night that his involvement was “a genuine commitment to try and help out” — but SACA said it would not participate unless a previous decision by CSA was formally withdrawn.—AFP
