Uncertainties over, South Africa tour on

"The ICC and CSA have already refuted the comments made by Mr. Becker and the ICC is now considering its legal options in respect of the same. In addition, the ICC will convene an investigation by an independent third party (to be appointed by the ICC) into the content and distribution of the media comments, subsequent attempts to have them withdrawn, and, in particular, the role of Mr. Lorgat in relation to these matters.

"Pending the outcome of this investigation, CSA has ordered the withdrawal of Mr. Lorgat from representing it at the ICC's chief executive's committee (or from acting in any other ICC-related matters), and CSA has also withdrawn him from having involvement in any aspect of CSA's relationship with the BCCI, including but not limited to the upcoming tour," added the statement.
