CAPE TOWN: Player salaries for the South African 2020-21 cricket season are safe, but the long-term effects of the coronavirus pandemic could mean the country's cricketers earn less in the future, Cricket South Africa Acting CEO Jacques Faul has said.
"We have budgeted for the amount. It is a centralised system and both the national team and franchise players are budgeted for," Faul told local media on Tuesday."But in the long term, even if we cover this season, we will have to look at what the situation is going to be after that and the financial impact it has."In our situation, I cannot see any player getting less money this season, but going forward I can see a situation where players might have to receive less.
"How much will be available to pay players ? We need to see the total effect of Covid-19. And of course, players right now miss out on appearance fees and win bonuses," he said. Faul conceded that in a worst-case scenario, where international cricket cannot be played for two or three seasons, the game could become a recreational sport in South Africa.
