LONDON:
Cricket South Africa (CAS) has accepted the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chief executive David Collier’s apology after he accused their players of provoking Kevin Pietersen in the text message row that led to the batsman being axed. “CSA has made clear to ECB that the electronic messages were not part of any initiative or plan to undermine the England team or players,” read a CSA statement. “ECB has unreservedly accepted that assurance and wishes to reiterate that it has no issue at all with CSA. Although the two boards do not agree on the sequence of events regarding any responses to messages between Kevin Pietersen and certain Proteas players, CSA accept Collier’s apology. Both the CSA and ECB regard this matter as now closed and will not comment on the confidential information shared in discussion between the boards.”
