South Africa cricket in disarray as selection panel is sacked

Mickey Arthur's resignation a couple of days back came as a surprise but now it appears to be complete chaos in South Africa cricket as the selection panel is sacked. The news was confirmed by Mike Proctor, the chairman of selectors, on a local radio station in Johannesburg.

Mickey Arthur had earlier quit citing irreparable differences with skipper Greame Smith as the reason. It couldn't have come at a worse time as South Africa prepare to tour India early next month. It appears that Smith and other senior players have the reigns and Arthur possibly lost favour with them. As per the latest, Duncan Fletcher appears to be the front runner for Arthurs job.
