Alarming news for South Africa Cricket. Their Olympic body taking over CSA under its control and firing existing cricket board, technically government taking over. Implication? According to ICC constitution Cricket board should work as autonomously body and no government interference is allowed, if not then it could lead to ban from the International Cricket. More or less similar thing happened with the Zimbabwe cricket too.
South African Olympic body removes CSA board; takes control of cricketZimbabwe received a raw deal from the ICC, as they got suspended and were barred from receiving funds. Do the ICC have courage to do the same with South Africa? Especially at a time when the chairman election is due? These suspensions work only against smaller boards who have small number of supporters and not against larger boards such as South Africa.
I am sure ICC will not do this blunder. If they do, this will not be a popular decision. We already have few cricket playing nations and if they started banning them, the number will further decline. I hope South Africa wont face similar restrictions like Zimbabwe.
You are right this could be blunder but CSA is also not doing any thing good for controling corruptiona and many other issues which are hurting them very badly too much talk about quota system and many other serious troubles around there which need some stick intention but nothing hapepning and many players going away just because of these issues.
