South Africa’s cricket is in massive crisis after the country’s official cricket board, Cricket South Africa, was suspended and it’s operations were taken over by SASCOC (South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee), which is a government body. For South Africa, this step could see a ban from international cricket until the issue is not sorted out. However, for the next 22 years, South Africa would be banned from not just international cricket, but all sports totally. 50 years later, government interference due to alleged ‘malpractises and maladministration’ within Cricket South Africa might force the ICC to usher in a ban. For South Africa, it seems history might be repeating itself all over again.
