Cricket | Micheal Eksteen Elected On CSA Board Of Directors
Cricket South Africa (CSA) held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Saturday 7 September 2024 in Sandton, where the national cricket governing body proudly reported a strong financial performance for the fiscal year spanning 01 May 2023 – 30 April 2024.
At the meeting CSA announced an impressive 170% increase in revenue of R1.9 billion and a notable profit of R815 million, marking a significant financial turnaround over the last 12 months. The organisation also reported a positive net cash flow of R793 million. This performance was largely derived from broadcast rights which contributed 54% of total revenue.
The second edition of CSA’s successful Betway SA20 league saw a double-digit growth in profitability with CSA’s share of profit being around R54 million. Additionally, CSA’s strong financial standing was boosted by the successful hosting of the ICC Men’s U19 World Cup 2024 and the expansion of its commercial portfolio, which saw the renewal of existing commercial agreements and the attraction of new brands into the fold.
