The decision to move to the provincial system is related to CSA’s new austerity measures, which has seen the body revise its four-year loss from R654 million to R350 million.
CAPE TOWN - Chief executive of the South African Cricketers Associations , Tony Irish, told EWN Sport that Cricket South Africa has not consulted the players' unions regarding their decision to collapse the current domestic franchise system and reintroduce the old provincial system from next year consisting of 12 teams and eventually moving to 14.
While Irish is not against the decision, he feels that the players' unions should be consulted considering the number of elements involved in such a seismic shift in domestic cricket. There could be trouble for CSA as Irish states the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the parties last year requires the green light from SACA.
"To say we're just going to move to 12 provinces, there's a lot of detail about how that happens. Does that mean that there is a loss of player contracts because what they're actually doing is they are merging the provincial system and the franchise system? So, what are the implications of that?
