CAPE TOWN – Cricket South Africa (CSA) will formally introduce racial quotas at national team level, the board said yesterday.
The organisation has come under fire from the South African Government for a lack of transformation in its national teams, leading to a ban on bidding for international tournaments that will be reviewed next year.
President Chris Nenzani said in a statement CSA would seek to “move with the times” and set a minimum number of black players to be selected in all their national teams.
He added that these “targets” would be calculated over a year and not apply on a match-by-match basis.
“In the past we had never set targets in our national teams but with changing circumstances we feel it is essential to move with the times,” Nenzani said.
