Jacques Kallis got the perfect farewell as South Africa threshed India by 10 wickets in Durban to win the two-test series 1-0.

Ahead of the second match against Pakistan, Cricket South Africa CEO Haroon Lorgat recalls the heights that South Africa reached in ODI cricket in its 22-year history.

"Sachin Tendulkar has been one of the best role models the game of cricket could have ever wished for," said Cricket South Africa Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat.

Former ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat says that he cannot comment if the current stand-off between South African and Indian boards can threaten a break-up in the cricket word.

India's curtailed tour of two Tests and three ODIs leaves a gap in South Africa's cricket calender. Pakistan, however, will fill the void left by neighbours and arch-rivals.

This emerged from a report in the weekly Sunday Times in which respected cricket writer Telford Vice alleged that Lorgat had asked him to hold back a report he had written on comments by former ICC legal adviser David Becker that offended BCCI.

Cricket South Africa chief executive Haroon Lorgat says it was solely his decision to step aside from dealings with BCCI so that India's tour of South Africa remains on the calendar.

Former South African first-class cricketer from Border, Darryn Randall, was struck on the side of the head in attempting to pull a short delivery. He collapsed and was rushed to hospital where he could not be revived by the doctors.

David Becker said he would go under oath if necessary to absolve Haroon Lorgat of any role in the statement issued by him regarding the Future Tours Programme.

Putting an end to weeks of speculation, the BCCI on Tuesday gave its consent to India's tour of South Africa for two Tests and three ODIs in December.
