Cricket
South Africa (CSA) have put in place racial quotas for the national team
across all three formats of the game in an effort to increase the
number of black players in a sport still dominated by whites.
CSA
have sought an average minimum of six Black players, of which two must
be Black African, in matches over the season, the organisation announced
on Saturday.
The
move will have little immediate impact on the team as those targets
were reached in the recent test series win over New Zealand when the
side was at full-strength bar the absence of injured captain AB de
Villiers.
South Africa are next in
action in a one-day international against Ireland on September 25,
before meeting Australia in the first of five 50-over matches at home on
September 30,2016
CSA have already introduced quotas for the
country's domestic franchise competitions where teams must field at
least six players of colour, including three black African players.
