South Africa’s Rapport Newspaper quoted a CSA source saying that the governing body had noticed a “false narrative”.After CSA made the request, Chairman Lawson Naidoo appeared in an interview on SA20 Twitter and the tournament has also been expressing gratitude to the CSA after each contest.“The SA20 league was initiated by CSA, which has the majority stake in African Cricket Development [ACD], which owns the league,” Naidoo was quoted.To specify the ownership, CSA own 57.5% of the league, broadcasters SuperSport own 30% and Indian businessman Sundar Rahman owns 12.5%.Read all the Latest News, Trending News, Cricket News, Bollywood News, India News and Entertainment News here.
