Johannesburg: Cricket South Africa (CSA) have appointed Thabang Moroe as permanent chief executive on a three-year contract with immediate effect, the governing body announced on Monday.

Moroe has been acting chief executive since last September when Haroon Lorgat left by mutual consent after a breakdown in his relationship with the organisation’s board over the setting up of South Africa’s T20 Global League.

“Mr Moroe has done an excellent job over the past year in taking over this position in circumstances that were far from ideal,” CSA President Chris Nenzani said on the CSA website.
