<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">Former National cricket selector Hugh Page has warned that such decision taken by CSA could force other senior players to leave South Africa. He is also upset with the dropping of Jacque Kallis from the Twenty20 World Cup side. He said it was high time that cricket administrators did away with the policy of having certain number of coloured players in the National Side.</font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">He has even threatened to make himself unavailable for the South African national team in future. It will really be a big blow for the South African Team. It remains to be seen how the CSA convince him in the days to come. With the coming of ICL the top rated senior cricketer have very good opportunity to make money in the end of their career.</font></p>
