The South African Cricketers' Association (SACA) is "considering its legal options," against Cricket South Africa after the latter took a decision to increase the racial quotas at domestic level without consulting the players' union.
The resolution to increase the numbers of players of colour from five to six in franchise cricket, including three black Africans, and from six to seven in provincial cricket, including four black Africans, was taken two weeks before the contract window closes and will leave most teams scrambling to make up numbers.
It comes against the backdrop of South Africa's elimination from the World Cup at the semi-final stage.
