South Africa is well aware of the irritation of being banned. The country was banned from international cricket for 22 years, not a year or two due to racism. South Africa could fall under the sword of sanctions again.This time, not racism, but government interference in the cricket board could lead to darkness in South African cricket.
Cricket South Africa's (CSA) government has taken control of the country. ICC rules state that government interference in a country's cricket board is illegal.
South Africa's cricket board has been disbanded and the government has taken control of the country. The ICC suspended Zimbabwe's membership last year for the same reason. A few months later, the membership was returned to Zimbabwe.
The South African Sports Confederation and the Olympic Committee have suspended Cricket South Africa's board of directors (CSA) for a month, Reuters reported. At this time, the behavior and corruption of the top officials of the board will be investigated.
The South African Sports Confederation and the Olympic Committee have jointly issued a letter to Cricket South Africa. According to the letter, the top officials of the board have been committing misconduct and corruption for a long time.
The South African Sports Federation and the Olympic Committee believe that the people, sponsors and players of the country have lost confidence and trust in cricket because of their actions. The highest level of the country has taken such a decision after several discussions on these issues.
