Cape Town: The international status of the cricket team is once again in jeopardy after the South African government took over the affairs of the cricket board.
The South African government has suspended all activities for a month and taken over the affairs of the cricket board. The South African cricket team may be banned due to government interference in the affairs of the board.
According to media reports, the South African Sports Confederation and the Olympic Committee have taken this step by intervening in the cricket board, after which South African cricket has fallen victim to the crisis. The Steering Committee has stated that it will decide the future of the Board after an inquiry to rectify the situation.
On the other hand, according to ICC rules, there can be no government interference in the affairs of the cricket governing body. However, a response from the ICC is likely to come out today.
