South Africa’s players would like to see an “urgent engagement” between their board, Cricket South Africa (CSA), and its Indian counterpart, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), to resolve fixtures over this summer’s India series.
The national team is due to leave for United Arab Emirates (UAE) this Friday but their home tour against India has no confirmed itinerary after the BCCI objected to CSA’s schedule of three Tests, seven One Day Internationals (ODI) and two Twenty20s (T20).
Tony Irish, the South African Cricketer’s Association (SACA) chief executive, said that the BCCI’s leadership structure has been formalised following yesterday’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) and the players are hopeful the series can be discussed as a matter of importance.
“This is the main tour of the summer and has a massive financial implication on cricket. We are about six weeks away from it and to have it all up in the air is really worrying and frustrating,” Irish said. “The players want to see it sorted out. Until yesterday, CSA did not know who they were dealing with at the BCCI because they had not had their election but now that that is sorted it, they need to do whatever it takes to get the discussion going.”
CSA has confirmed it is awaiting the dates of a meeting with the BCCI, although it was earlier mooted that the presidents of the boards would meet at the ICC board meeting on October 16 and 17.
Howdy this is kinhda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or

Any help would be enormously appreciated!
