Cricket South Africa’s member council on Tuesday made a U-turn and appointed the nine-member interim board ahead of the much-anticipated England series, just days after rejecting it citing technicalities in terms of CSA’s Memorandum of Incorporation.
“Acting President of Cricket South Africa (CSA), Rihan Richards today confirmed that the Members’ Council of CSA has appointed the Interim Board in terms of the CSA Memorandum of Incorporation (MoI), with a clear understanding of roles and responsibilities for the immediate future of CSA,” the board said in a statement.
“The appointment follows a frank, honest and constructive engagement held between representatives from the Members’ Council and the Interim Board. Everyone agreed on the way forward and to collaborate, strictly in accordance with the relevant legal framework.”
The interim board, which was appointed by Sports Minister Nathi Mthethwa, will run the administrative body for the next kthree months.
