South African cricket is having a hard time. Gradually, the crisis has grown to such an extent that if it is not resolved, the sword of sanctions may fall on the team's shoulders before this year's T20 World Cup.

Disagreements between the South African government and the cricket board have recently increased. The International Cricket Council (ICC) is not taking matters into its own hands at all. 

As a result, if this problem is not resolved very quickly, the Proteas may be expelled from cricket by the highest governing body of world cricket.

In this situation, the captains of the three formats of South Africa have come forward to save the country's cricket board. They issued a joint statement expressing deep concern over a possible suspension from the ICC.

The captains of the three formats said in their statement that at a time when we should be excited about the future, we are worried about the future. The current state of administration is affecting our readiness.

It added that the ICC could deport South Africa if the stalemate continued. If that is the case, we will not be able to take part in the T20 World Cup. But that is not a matter of pride for us at all.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) is in deep trouble. The country's sports confederation and the Olympic Committee (SASCOC) have jointly written to the CSA asking top cricket board officials to step down. But CSA could not accept this decision. The country's cricket board is considering legal action.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has taken control of the country's government, it was learned last night. The country's cricket may have to pay a high price for this. According to ICC rules, government interference in any country's cricket board is illegal. The ICC may ban South Africa from international cricket for such behavior by the government.

According to Cricinfo, Kugandri Govender is no longer the acting chief executive of the board. The Olympic Committee (SASCOC) will now appoint a task force to the board. 

This task team will investigate the internal affairs of the board. It has been mentioned in the board that they have been committing various kinds of misconduct and corruption for a long time. 

The South African Sports Federation and the Olympic Committee say the country's people, sponsors and players have lost confidence in cricket because of their actions.

Thabang Moore was removed from the post of chief executive of the board last month. He was suspended once nine months ago. The decision was made following expert legal advice, and was supported by the Independent Forensic Investigation Committee. 

The investigation found major corruption against Thabang Moore. Although Cricket South Africa (CSA) has not released that investigation report. 

However, the CSA is considering taking legal action after South African Sports Federation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) officials were asked to step down. They have also issued a statement in this regard.

The CSA said in a statement on its official tweet that the decision was taken by the South African Sports Confederation and the Olympic Committee (SASCOC). 

The Board and its Member Council do not agree with this decision of the SASCOC. The board could not communicate with the SASCOC. 

The board is now considering legal action to intervene in the CSA's internal affairs. However, by talking to SASCOC, CSA wants to find the best solution in the interest of cricket.

The South African Cricket Board has been accused of corruption by the country's sports federation and the Olympic Committee. 

They decided to intervene on the board after discussions last Tuesday. Earlier, South Africa was banned from international cricket for 22 years due to racism.
