CSA lays down four-point pandemic strategy

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has laid down a four-point strategy to ensure the well-being of everyone attached with the organisation in the battle against the dreaded COVID-19 pandemic, which has left the world in disarray.

With South Africa in official lockdown until April 16, CSA Acting Chief Executive, Jacques Faul outlined the plan via a video conference on Tuesday that also featured Interim Director Graeme Smith.

"Health is the most important thing at this point in time. In our world, sport is the most important thing and it does feed a lot of people, but to be honest, the world has greater challenges at the moment," Faul said.

The CEO stressed that the organisation was doing its best to keep everyone within their structures safe and outlined the four-point strategy.

"We have a four-way strategy in terms of the Coronavirus and the first one is to make sure everybody is safe," Faul said.

"I think we saw that implemented even before the lockdown (when the season was effectively ended by a 60-day termination of cricket)."
"The second one is to use the voices of our stars to send out a coordinated message and we've seen that so far with some of our campaigns."
