… South Africa Saved the Indian Premier League (IPL)?
UPDATE: The IPL will resume on 17 May 2025 - https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/articles/c2kq085wg0do.amp In 2009, just months before the soccer World Cup would put South Africa on the global stage, something wild happened: we hosted the entire Indian Premier League. Not a few matches — the whole damn tournament. It was last-minute. It was chaotic. It was brilliant. But behind the sixes, stadium fireworks, and Bollywood glamour was something else brewing: controversy, kickbacks, and cricket board politics that would soon explode — and eventually lead to a full-blown inquiry into Cricket South Africa (CSA). In this episode, we relive the highs, question the legacy, and look at where CSA stands today — from the chaos of the Nicholson Report to the revival powered by the Betway SA20. With clips, commentary, and one big question: Did saving the IPL almost break South African cricket? Clips courtesy of: Parliamentary Monitoring Group (pmg.org.za); Betway SA20/YouTube. Voice featured: - Chris Nenzani, CSA President (2013-2020) - Pholetsi Moseki, CSA Chief Executive Officer (2021 - ) - Graeme Smith ( Betway SA20 Commissioner; former Proteas Test Captain) Please subscribe and rate this podcast, it certainly helps.
