Following the recent 3-0 drubbing at the hands of Australia at home, Shaun Pollock's captaincy has come under microscope of the United Cricket Board of South Africa.
“We'll be looking at the captaincy... If the incumbent falls short then action will be taken,” said Percy Sonn, the president of the United Cricket Board of South Africa.
South Africa lost both their away and home test series to Australia, sparking a nationwide anguish. The national selectors too have come in for sharp criticism, forcing the UCB to hold crisis meeting of the general council last Monday. A significant outcome of the meeting is the appointment of national cricket committee to look into issues of selection, leadership and management. The committee includes four former test players – Andrew Hudson, Craig Matthews, Omar Henry and Pat Symcox – Gerald Majola, the chief executive of the UCB, Dr Logan Naidoo, president of the Natal Cricket Association, Anton Ferreira, Haroon Lograt and Imran Munshi.
But the committee will have only powers of recommendation. The UCB general council also adopted a new constitution which provides for the organisation to be divided into professional and amateur arms. Four directors will be nominated to serve on the new board of directors of Cricet SA (Pvt) Ltd.
