The four-person independent panel assigned to review South Africa's national teams performance last season has disbanded without completing its work. Sports physiologist Ross Tucker, who was on the panel, confirmed the news to ESPNcricinfo, although he declined further comment until the message had been communicated to CSA's board. Tucker and his fellow panelists informed CSA CEO Haroon Lorgat of their decision last week.

The investigation, which was due to be headed by CSA's head of HR, Dawn Mokhobo, and also included former Test cricketer Adam Bacher and World Cup winning Springbok captain Francois Pienaar, was announced in the aftermath of South Africa's men and women exiting the World T20 after the first round. It was to include an examination of the men's team's poor Test summer, in which they lost back-to-back series to India and England and the national Under-19 side, who failed to defend their World Cup title. The job of Russell Domingo, South Africa's coach, was expected to come under particular scrutiny.

The panel held preliminary meetings at the end of April and discussed the scope and the process of their review, which included identifying timeframes and cost. On Twitter, in conversation with another user, Tucker confirmed that they, "Couldn't agree terms, times and scope/process, so it didn't begin. Pity."

With CSA yet to announce the cessation of the review process, it is uncertain what steps it will take to conduct an analysis of the past summer. An option would be to ask the 14-person panel that is conducting a review into domestic cricket to include the national teams in its scope as well. The findings of the domestic review are set to be revealed in the next two months, with CSA also due to hold its AGM over the winter.

The cancellation of the review process means that Domingo may feel he can breathe a little easier but only just. With his contract expiring at the end of April next year and a Champions Trophy looming, he is still under pressure to prove he can turn the team's fortunes around to stop CSA from starting to search for his replacement.

SA should be much better then Zim. Whether the pitch is flat or not should expect much more from an attack containing 2 of our front line test bowlers.
 
When is the squad for next month's test series being announced?

Isn't this against the rules of the ICC where no team may be selected based on colour?

The system implemented in domestic cricket last season stipulated that all franchise teams field a minimum of six players of colour in their starting XIs, while three players were required to be black African.

In one game during the recent triangular series in the West Indies, they fielded 7.

Amla, Duminy, Phangiso, Tahir, Rabada, Behardien & Parnell (I think it was). Maybe he (Parnell) isn't considered to be 'of colour' enough...

And then this...

“In the past we had never set targets in our national teams but with changing circumstances we feel it is essential to move with the times,” commented CSA president and chairperson of the board, Chris Nenzani.
