It’s only a matter of time before the embattled but defiant Cricket South Africa (CSA) board is dismantled and replaced with an interim structure as more provinces join calls for its disbandment.
The noose tightened at a special council meeting at Newlands on Wednesday after Western Province Cricket Association officially called for the CSA board to step down with immediate effect.
A campaign to lobby the smaller provinces to join the chorus is well underway‚ according to an insider who is a leader of the one of the provinces. “It’s only a matter of time before we garner enough support and as soon as we secure that then we will have the Members Council meet so that the board can be removed.”
With their pulling power as provinces that generate the most revenue and boast Test match venues in the country‚ it should be relatively easy for Gauteng‚ Western Province‚ KZN and Eastern Cape to convince other small provinces to heed their call. Major sponsors Standard Bank have already said they will not renew their R100m-a-year sponsorship when the season comes to an end in April next year. Sunfoil and Momentum have issued ultimatums for the CSA board to be removed or walk out.
