Cricket South Africa have named Thabang Moroe as the permanent chief executive, effective immediately, on Tuesday, 17^th July. Moroe had been serving as the acting chief executive after Haroon Lorgat left his post last year.

After his permanent appointment was made official, CSA president Chris Nenzani expressed his happiness at Moroe being given the job on a permanent basis as he took over the reins at a difficult time and did a commendable job.

“Mr. Moroe’s appointment follows a thorough and rigorous process to fill this important position,” commented CSA President Chris Nenzani.

“I would like to express my appreciation to the sub-committee of the Board as well as my colleagues on the Board who have brought this matter to a highly satisfactory conclusion.

“Mr. Moroe has done an excellent job over the past year in taking over this position in circumstances that were far from ideal.

“In congratulating him on his appointment I look forward to his continuing the path set out by his predecessor of achieving our goal to be the best run sports federation on the continent and to be among the best in the world.”

Lorgat and CSA parted ways after the former failed to secure a broadcasting deal and title sponsor prior to the now-postponed T20 Global League. As a result, the CSA were bound to lose about $25 million but the T20 league was then postponed.
