Players reject SA invitation
The South African Cricketers’ Association on Tuesday rejected a move by Cricket South Africa 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.
SACA said it would not participate unless a previous decision by CSA was formally withdrawn.
CSA decided in April to radically restructure the domestic game, scrapping the current franchise system and reducing the number of teams playing professional cricket. The decision is the subject of an ongoing court action by SACA.
“Although CSA has announced that SACA will be part of this committee we have yet to be formally contacted,” said SACA chief executive Tony Irish.
“SACA will not participate in this committee until the existing restructure decision is formally withdrawn.”
