Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The SABC will not broadcast the Proteas\u2019 high-profile cricket series against India that starts on Sunday after the public broadcaster reneged on its agreement with Cricket South Africa (CSA) because it couldn\u2019t find a sponsor.<\/p>\n

CSA said on Friday it had been \u201cinvolved in protracted negotiations\u201d with the SABC over the \u201cfree-to-air\u201d rights for the tour.At the end of November, CSA said it had received an offer from the SABC at what it described as a \u201chuge discounted rate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite being short of what it wanted or valued the rights as being, CSA accepted the offer on Thursday. However, just hours later, the SABC withdrew the offer citing the withdrawal of potential partners. The SABC held a meeting on Friday where the series was discussed.<\/p>\n

CSA said it remained willing to sign an agreement with the SABC should it secure sponsorship for the broadcast.<\/p>\n

The series with India starts on Sunday with the first of three T20 Internationals. Thereafter the teams meet in a three-match ODI series, which will be followed by two Tests, the first of which starts on Boxing Day.<\/p>\n

The SABC has previously struggled to secure funding for major sporting events and only reached agreements at the 11th hour to show the Rugby and Cricket World Cup tournaments.<\/p>\n
