• CSA declares R200m loss

    Cricket South Africa has declared a R200-million loss for the 2018-19 financial year at Saturday’s annual general meeting.

    CSA declared revenue of R929 million and expenses of R1.2 billion across a four-year cycle, which included home series against Pakistan, Sri Lanka, India and Australia.

    The tenure of CSA president Chris Nenzani, who also serves on two International Cricket Council committees, has been extended by one year.

    ‘If members come calling‚ I’ll do so and I’ve never campaigned for leadership,’ TimesLive quoted Nenzani as saying.

    ‘I don’t intend to do so‚ but the reason given to me was to stabilise and calm the situation in the organisation because it’s going through a lot of changes that require stability.’

    The Proteas endured a disappointing World Cup campaign earlier this year, while CSA and the South African Cricketers’ Association are effectively feuding over the country’s franchise system.

    ‘Because I’m a servant of the game‚ I said I’ll do that and that’s been my attitude,’ added Nenzani.

    CSA, meanwhile, has launched the Women’s T20 Super League.

    In the first leg of tournament four teams competed across six games in three days at the Irene Country Club in Pretoria this week.

    ‘We need to address the lack of game time and provide more competitive cricket for the women’s structure in order to produce quality cricketers and to improve the pool of players for national selection,’ said CSA head of pathways Edward Khoza.
