Another Committee to make more bad decisions

A high powered cricket committee has been formed by Cricket South Africa (CSA) to ensure that the Proteas get the best possible preparations for the World Cup in the West Indies in March next year.

Gerald Majola, CSA CEO, on Tuesday announced the names of the committee members. They are: Mickey Arthur (National Coach and Chairperson), Gerald Majola (CEO), Vince van der Bijl (High Performance Manager), Vincent Barnes (National Assistant Coach), Graeme Smith (National Captain), Haroon Lorgat (Convenor of Selectors), Aslam Khota (Media Specialist), Jonty Rhodes, Gary Kirsten and Corrie van Zyl.

Van Zyl is a former national team assistant coach and current Free State Eagles coach. Rhodes has played in four World Cups and Kirsten in three.

Majola said: "Committee members were chosen for their experience in different fields of expertise.

"The committee will meet regularly to ensure that all relevant stakeholders are involved in this preparation programme for the World Cup including coaches, ground staff and administrators.

"We will leave no stone unturned in providing the team with the best possible preparations for the World Cup".

The 14-man Castle Test touring squad to Sri Lanka will assemble at the CSA's High Performance Centre at the University of Pretoria for a three-day training camp from July 15 - 18.

The tour, which starts next month, includes a two-Test series against Sri Lanka and an ODI-triangular series involving South Africa, India and Sri Lanka.
