There will be no cut in players' salaries for the 2020-21 season but the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could see them taking a hit in their earnings, said Cricket South Africa Acting CEO Jacques Faul on Tuesday.
The negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic is already seen in the sporting world with some of the football clubs being forced to cut players' salary.
However, Cricket South Africa has no such immediate plans for its contracted players.
"We have budgeted for the amount. It is a centralised system and both the national team and franchise players are budgeted for. At this stage we will have enough capacity to see us through the season," Faul was quoted as saying in the local media.
"But in the long term, even if we cover this season, we will have to look at what the situation is going to be after that and the financial impact it has. In our situation, I cannot see any player getting less money this season, but going forward I can see a situation where players might have to receive less."
