Quote Haroon Lorgat's tenure as Cricket South Africa's chief executive is over. Cricbuzz understands that Lorgat parted ways with the organisation on Thursday morning (September 28) after his relationship with the CSA board reached breaking point. Pressure has been building on Lorgat in recent months with regards to his handling of the Global T20 tournament, which is due to get underway in November. In July, questions arose over Lorgat's dealings with broadcast rights partners, the lack of transparency in establishing the league and seeking owners, as well as the side-lining of colleagues. A series of acrimonious board meetings - and one hastily-convened teleconference - followed the board's July concerns, with the parties reluctantly agreeing that Lorgat remain. Cricbuzz understands those issues remain relevant in Lorgat's dismissal. With just five weeks until the Global T20 gets underway, CSA are yet to secure a broadcast deal in either India or South Africa, throwing the feasibility of the entire tournament into doubt. However the issue that alarmed the board most was the mounting costs associated with getting the tournament off the ground, with Lorgat racking up a large bill on first-class travel and corporate events. CSA's most recent annual report, which covered the period between May 1, 2016 and April 30, 2017, stated that R 4.5 million had been spent on the Global T20 in the year under review. That figure would not have included the costs of a glitzy tournament launch in London in June, as well as significant expenditure since then. It is understood that Thabang Moroe will take over as acting CEO following Lorgat's departure, and will be supported by CSA president Chris Nenzani and independent board member Louis Von Zeuner. Lorgat's contract was only due to come to an end in 2019 following an extension in 2015. His premature departure is expected to cost CSA millions of Rands in a potential payout, but that appears to be a hit the board were willing to take as they attempt to get the Global T20 up and running and save the governing body from further ignominy. http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/97391/haroon-lorgats-tenure-as-cricket-south-africa-chief-ends-prematurely Link to comment

sandeep Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Lorgat's days were numbered once he couldn't deliver on the T20 league - he needed that to really take off to compensate for the loss CSA has suffered due to his 'war' against the BCCI. AK007 1 Link to comment

chewy Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Haroon Logart has been such disaster for Cricket South Africa, within 1 year is wiped off nearly half of Cricket SA's cash reserve One of the worst cricket administrators going around, his ego and false brovado has finished is cricket career. http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/21673182/csa-saca-agree-player-payout-deal-glt20 The T20 Global League was due to be played in November-December and CSA had anticipated losses of US$ 25million - amounting to half its cash reserves. The financial model was eventually deemed unsustainable and CSA opted to cut its losses, which will still prove substantial. The total player bill, which included signed contracts with 138 players (after six withdrew for injury or unavailability reasons), amounted to US $10.8 million. While CSA has been spared sacrificing the full amount, the agreed figures will still cost the board several million, though the exact amount has been adjusted to accommodate for foreign players. Those who signed on with other leagues, such as the BPL, whose NOCs contained limitations on the amount of time they were able to play in the T20 Global League, and those who did not receive NOCs will all be paid less than 50%.
