The South African cricket team failed to bring home any silverware from yet another World Cup and lost Test series' to Sri Lanka and India.
The Proteas started 2019 on a strong note, completing a clean sweep in the three match Test series against Pakistan, on home soil in early January. The Sri Lankans became only the third nation – after England and Australia – and the first Asian team to win a Test series in South Africa. They opened their campaign with a massive loss to the hosts at the Oval, losing by more than 100 runs.
Another dismal performance at a big ICC event sent panic through the corridors of CSA, and then CEO Thabang Moroe rushed into announcing a new football style structure for cricket in the country. The Indians won the first match by 203 runs, the second by an innings and 137 runs and the third, in Ranchi in October, by an innings and 202 runs.This was just days after the team returned from India in late October when things started to really unravel for Cricket South Africa.Then interim director Corrie van Zyl was suspended, alongside Chief Operating Officer Naasei Appiah and Commercial Manager Clive Eksteen.
Under fire from just about everyone, including the South African National Editors Forum , the players association SACA, former presidents of the governing body Norman Arendse and Ali Bacher, sponsors and fans, the CEO backtracked a day later. He apologised to all but the damage was already done.
