Cricket SA Being Sued For 7M Rand By T20 Global League Franchise Owner

Cricket South Africa is being sued for more than 7M rand ($486,300) by a T20 Global League franchise owner, according to Telford Vice of TIMES LIVE. The legal action "threatens to burst the bubble of positivity" created by the Mzansi Super League‚ which replaced the T20GL and is currently underway in South Africa. The T20GL was to be played in November and December last year but was postponed‚ CSA said at the time‚ "because it would lose too much money." Hiren Bhanu, who owned a piece of the T20GL, "is looking for justice." Legal documents detail Bhanu's claim of $515,627.91, which takes into account the fact that he has been refunded his deposit. Bhanu said that he spent $68,538.68 on legal bills, $74,688.83 on "consulting fees," $81,247.76 on marketing and $107,216.81 on salaries and wages. His total claim, $515,627.91, is more than the 7M rand the winning team will earn at next Sunday's MSL final (TIMES LIVE, 12/8).
