Intervention threatened

Cricket: Sports minister Nathi Mthethwa has informed the International Cricket Council he intends to intervene in the running of crisisridden Cricket South Africa unless the latter commit to governance reforms by October 27.

CSA has been mired in controversy and claims of mismanagement since the suspension of former chief executive Thabang Moroe last December, with a damning internal report providing a long list of concerns around the actions of various staff members in the organisation.

Cricket South Africa has faced heavy criticism from sponsors and national team players, the latter accusing the board of ‘‘selfinterest’’ in failing to deal adequately with the contents of the internal report. — Reuters
