CSA expects to spend between R200-million and R400-million on South African cricket stadiums ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup.
The tournament will be co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
The main venues in South Africa will be the Wanderers in Johannesburg, Centurion Park in Pretoria, Kingsmead in Durban, St George’s Park in Gqeberha, Boland Park in Paarl and Newlands in Cape Town, while the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein and Buffalo Park in East London will also host some fixtures.
CSA CEO Pholetsi Moseki told the Sunday Times that the organisation will review the eight venues over the next fortnight, with the most pressing issue being the installation of LED lights.
“Some of the grounds may be in need of more aid than others,” he added.
The main upgrades need to be completed by the end of 2026, less than a year before the start of the tournament.
Moseki said CSA would request financial assistance from the government.
