“That was meant to conceal the terrible board decision around the Global League.” TiisetsoMalepa
Owner of the Stellenbosch Kings Preity Zinta during the Stellenbosch Franchise function and Media Briefing at Val de Vie Estate on September 13, 2017 in Paarl, South Africa.The termination of the T20GL in October 2017‚ which resulted in CSA losing R192m in expenditure on it‚ came shortly after the organisation terminated its contract with a Dubai-based company five months into its 10-year agreement.
“It is not relevant to the investigation‚” was all CSA could say when asked about the exclusion of the T20GL. The big reveal took place at a launch event at London’s most prestigious hotel‚ The Bvlgari‚ in June 2017. “I mean how can you sit on the board‚ you have got contracts of players to play in the T20GL and you cancel the league. You think you are not going to pay compensation to these players?
Another source said pay-TV giant SuperSport tabled an offer for the broadcast rights of the T20GL‚ which would have been good enough for CSA to be self-sustainable and arrest its reliance on incoming tours of India‚ Australia and England.
