Cricket South Africa has admitted to being “caught by some surprise” by the South African sports minister’s decision to ban it, along with three other national federations, from bidding for major global tournaments as punishment for the slow pace of transformation. The sanction was announced last month and this weekend CSA will meet with the ministry to discuss what more the cricket board can do to meet transformation targets, to which it remains committed.

“We believe firmly in the need for transformation strategies. We were caught by some surprise by what the minister announced a few weeks ago. It’s something which we will understand better when we meet on Saturday,” Haroon Lorgat, CSA’s CEO, told African News Agency at the announcement for a new sponsor on Wednesday. “Across the board we are held up as the market leaders in so far as good governance, transformation and world-class administration. We’ll engage [with the government] and try to understand better why we were short on some of our dimensions.”
