CSA approve 'top-up' contracts
The Board of Directors of Cricket South Africa (CSA) have approved the National Selection Panel’s (NSP) recommended list of 15 players to be awarded CSA ‘top up’ contracts as well as the 21 players who will make up the High Performance (HP) squad.
“Our
National Selectors work on a four-year succession plan and CSA awards ‘top up’
contracts to those franchise players considered part of the selectors immediate
or future plans,” commented CSA Chief Executive, Haroon Lorgat. “Each player
has a Personal Development Plan (PDP) prepared and this plan is regularly
reviewed and monitored by the SA ‘A’ Head Coach.
“The HP List of players has a particular focus on identifying talented black players who are then presented with an individualised PDP (Player Development Plan). This is a plan based on a Needs Analysis conducted by the Senior Provincial and Franchise coaches and which provides defined support to each player. This forms part of CSA’s newly adopted Player Performance Plan (PPP). The aim is to grow and develop talented players and prepare them for future SA ‘A’ and National Team high performance,” concluded Mr. Lorgat.
