I also received an e-mail from a provincial white player who said something drastic has to be done.'

'(GCB) prides itself on the millions invested in development, but where are the local players of colour?

'In the past few years, GCB has bought all its players of colour from other provinces.

GCB chairman Barry Skjoldhammer said he was aware that the dissenting clubs had held a meeting.

'Our annual general meeting takes place next month and then they can have the opportunity to have their say,' he said.

Among those who have reacted to the CSA decision about the Wanderers are the City of Johannesburg, and the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The City said it was 'indeed a loss not only to the City but also to Johannesburg fans,' while the Chamber said it was 'horrified' by the decision.

The CSA Friday announced that the matches against the visiting English team which were scheduled for the Wanderers here would not be held at the stadium because the GCB had not tendered an apology it wanted over the IPL fiasco.

The England and Wales Cricket Board is also believed to have asked CSA to reimburse the accommodation and travel costs of fans who had booked for the games at Wanderers during the forthcoming tour.
