“The exercise of choosing the grounds was a scientific one and also included the number of hotel rooms and the availability of an airport,” Cricket South Africa chief executive officer Pholetsi Moseki told News24.
“If there was disappointment, it was also tempered by the reality that was based on the venues that were chosen.
“We do indeed have 11 International Cricket Council-accredited venues, so it was hard to leave out three, but a whole lot of things were taken into consideration. There’s also the important matter of training venues outside of the ones available at the venue.”
Australia are the reigning Cricket World Cup champions. They beat India in 2023’s final.
