Mike Procter's appointment as the South African chairman of selectors is a high-profile one, given his experience as a cricketer and a an ICC match referee. Zaahier Adams wonders if he will be able to understand the intricacies of the "transformation policy", one that caused controversy during Joubert Strydom's stint. Read on in Independent Online.
Procter was at the centre of a storm during the New Year Test in Sydney this year when he relied only on the evidence of three Australian players in finding Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh guilty of calling Andrew Symonds a "monkey". Why do I make reference to this? Because there is no doubt that similar pressures, especially related to transformation, are associated with the national convenor's post.
