Cape Town - Cricket South Africa (CSA) has opted to remove former Proteas batsman HD Ackerman as host of its annual awards evening later this month.

This comes after Ackerman announced earlier this week that he will be relocating to Australia in September this year.

Ackerman announced on his Facebook page that he was shocked by CSA's decision to no longer have him as host of the awards evening on Tuesday, July 26.

Ackerman wrote: “Wow, just been pulled off hosting the cricket South Africa Awards on the 26th because a few people on social media feel my move to Australia is because im racist. Forget the fact my wife's sister had just moved to Brisbane, and that my wife's parents have just moved to Perth, or that I got a job offer in Perth that included a school bursary for my son. Those reasons are not good enough.wow wow wow.”

“SA has so much potential," Ackerman wrote on Facebook.

“However in my entire life, I don’t think I have ever seen anything more common than something or someone fail to reach their potential. I fear this may be the case with my beautiful country.

“I truly hope that SA does go on to reach its true potential and that crime decreases, corruption slows … and an equal opportunity is there for all.”
