- South Africa role ‘fell away’ because of affirmative action policy
- Kallis: ‘It’s tough but we understand where it comes from’
Jacques Kallis, the legendary all-rounder who is working as England’s batting consultant for the Test series in Sri Lanka, has spoken of his regret at being forced out of a similar position with his native South Africa after their adoption of an affirmative action policy last year.
“I wasn’t allowed to be involved because Cricket South Africa said there would be no more white consultants, so unfortunately that fell away,” Kallis said before the first Test which starts on Thursday.
