The chief executive's position was vacated by tainted Gerald Majola after he was dismissed a few months ago following irregularities over IPL 2 bonuses.
There were speculations that a choice for the CEO's position has already been made by the CSA board and that the interview process was just a fa�ade.
However, CSA president Chris Nenzani today said that the CSA CEO has not been elected yet.
"CSA will ensure that the process is fair and transparent for all applicants and I must state, categorically, that at this stage no appointment has been made," Nenzani added.

In the past week, much had been made of alleged dissatisfaction by the BCCI over the possible appointment of Lorgat, who has been at loggerheads with the Indian board during his tenure at the ICC.
CSA independent director and former President Norman Arendse said they had discussed the concerns and the reported threat by BCCI to withdraw from a tour to South Africa if Lorgat was made CEO, during a meeting last week.
"(India does) generate much of (CSA's) income through television broadcasting deals and their tours help to sustain not only us, but other boards around the world," the source told the weekly City Press.
