Western Province Cricket Association president Johannes Adams was voted onto the Cricket South Africa board on Saturday.
Adams and Free State Cricket Union president Xander Snyman joined the CSA board as non-independent directors during Saturday’s annual general meeting in Johannesburg.
CSA reported a net profit of R238 million for the fiscal year – 1 May 2024 to 30 April 2025- at the AGM. They had reported a net profit of R815 million for the previous fiscal year.
“The 2024-2025 season has been a period of renewal and momentum gain for CSA. We witnessed the resurgence of our men’s national team, the continued excellence of our women’s teams and the rise of new talent from our development pipeline,” said CSA board chairperson Pearl Maphoshe.
“These successes reflect the hard work of our players and coaches and the impact of a more stable and supportive system. Good governance is the foundation of any credible and resilient institution.
“For CSA, it is essential to restore public trust, enabling long-term sustainability and delivering on our mandate to serve the game at every level. Strengthening governance has therefore remained a central focus of the board.
“The upcoming 2027 Cricket World Cup represents an extraordinary opportunity to showcase the best of South African cricket. Preparations are already well underway. This tournament must be more than a sporting event. We are focused on ensuring it leaves a meaningful legacy through infrastructure improvements, youth development, environmental accountability and shared national pride.
“The board is providing active oversight to ensure that every decision made by the local organising committee board is grounded in good governance and long-term value.”
CSA president Rihan Richards added: “We are encouraged by the performance achieved by CSA during this period. We did more than plan, we delivered.
“I wish to thank all our affiliates, board members and CSA leadership for their hard work and dedication during the year. To our partners, including the Department of Sport Arts and Culture and South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee, thank you for your ongoing support.
“To the fans, players, and match officials across the country – your energy and commitment inspire everything we do. To the staff at CSA, your efforts consistently drive our progress and ensure we remain focused on building a stronger and more inclusive future for cricket in South Africa.”
