CSA stated that the dates for the New Zealand tour were fixed as per the ICC's Future Tours Programme (FTP) for 2023-2027, which was prepared in 2022, much before the SA20 was launched.

After backlash, Cricket South Africa defends depleted Test squad selection for New Zealand tour

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has asserted it remains "fully committed" to both international cricket and the domestic SA20 tournament as it defended naming a shadow side for the Test tour of New Zealand, which faced heavy backlash from current and former players.

CSA stated that the dates for the New Zealand tour were fixed as per the ICC's Future Tours Programme (FTP) for 2023-2027, which was prepared in 2022, much before the SA20 was launched.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has asserted it remains "fully committed" to both international cricket and the domestic SA20 tournament as it defended naming a shadow side for the Test tour of New Zealand, which faced heavy backlash from current and former players.
South Africa named as many as 7 uncapped players, including a new captain, for the two-match Test series, while top South African cricketers will play the second season of the SA20 -- launched by CSA and IPL investors last year -- which clashes with the tour.
"The Board of Cricket South Africa notes the concerns about the composition of the Test squad that will be travelling to New Zealand later this month. We reassure the fans that CSA has the utmost respect for the Test format as the pinnacle of the game we love.
"CSA remains fully committed to international cricket and to strengthening the SA20, a tournament that was initiated by us to help grow and sustain the game,"CSA said in a statement.
CSA added that the dates for the New Zealand tour were fixed as per the ICC's Future Tours Programme (FTP) for 2023-2027, which was prepared in 2022, much before the SA20 was launched.
"The dates for this (New Zealand) tour were set when the Future Tours Programme (FTP) for 2023-2027 was finalised in 2022. The window for the SA20 had not been determined at that stage.
"Once it became apparent that there would be a clash, we made every effort to find another mutually suitable time slot for this 2 Test series in consultation with New Zealand Cricket," said CSA.
"Regrettably the constraints imposed by the global cricket calendar rendered this impossible, as the games must be played before April 2025 as part of the World Test Championship."
Former Australian skipper Steve Waugh had slammed CSA's decision while Dean Elgar, who will play his final Test on Wednesday, had also expressed his disgust. But CSA have expressed confidence in the touring side, saying it will be an opportunity for the uncapped players to showcase their talent.
"We commend head coach, Shukri Conrad and his staff for preparing the selected players for this tour, and we are confident that they will represent the Proteas badge with honour. We wish them all the very best. It is an opportunity to demonstrate the depth of talent that we have in South Africa." CSA also assured that it will avoid a similar situation in future.
"Our schedule for the remainder of the FTP has been managed to ensure that there will not be any further clashes between our bilateral commitments and the SA20, a tournament that was initiated by us to help grow and sustain the game."

The decision will be implemented from September when South Africa Women tour Pakistan. Earlier, New Zealand and India had announced pay parity across men&rsquo;s and women&rsquo;s teams.

South Africa's David Miller was one of the stars of Gujarat Titans' amazing run in their debut season where the Hardik Pandya-led side also won their maiden IPL trophy. Praising his performance in the recently concluded IPL, Temba Bavuma, the South African skipper, said that informing David Miller's performance in IPL gives the team a lot of confidence.

Most of the South African stars who participated in the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League put up an impressive show. However, Miller was outstanding, he was a fearful one-man army for the debutants who helped them win at least 6 games while chasing. He collected 481 runs in 16 games and was also the 6th highest scorer of IPL 2022. Bavuma further hinted that Miller who plays on the 6th spot for his national side mide be promoted up the order. 'If the opportunity is there then David will get a lot more balls to face' the 32-year-old said. Apart from Miller, Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram, Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen who are all a part of the South Africa squad for the India series have performed well in IPL 2022.
