The International Cricket Council’s (ICC) decision on Thursday to keep the Champions Trophy in Pakistan was met with dismay by South Africa’s team.
The ICC decided the tournament would go ahead there in September, despite reservations expressed by players from New Zealand, Australia and England.
The South African Cricketers’ Association (SACA) said they shared those concerns and would seek an urgent meeting with Cricket South Africa (CSA) to discuss the situation.
Tony Irish, chief executive officer of SACA, told Reuters on Thursday.
