Johannesburg: Cricket South Africa (CSA) has expressed its regret for making a spelling error in the logo of the new Africa T20 Cup, after the embattled organization found themselves on the receiving end of negative comments on social media.
Although the competition was launched in Johannesburg on Tuesday with much excitement, the event soon turned into an embarrassing affair for CSA as ‘Africa’ was misspelled ‘Arfica’ on all logos displayed at the press conference, Sport24 reported. ‘Africa T20 Cup’ launched by CSA
The first Africa T20 cup will be hosted by South Africa and will see the country’s provinces compete alongside national teams from Zimbabwe, Kenya and Namibia. The tournament will be a World Cup-style competition, consisting of four pools of four teams each with the winners of each pool advancing to the semi-finals and eventually to the final. Easterns (Sahara Willowmoore Park), North West (Senwes Park), Griquas (Diamond Oval) and Free State (Mangaung Oval) will be the venues for the four pool matches and some of these venues will also host the semi-final and final depending on which teams advance and based on an assessment of the quality of venue hosting during the pool stages. The tournament will run from September 4 to October 4.
