Cricket South Africa's (CSA) chief executive officer Pholetsi Moseki admits they're battling to find a solution to the lack of black African batters that affected the transformation balance of the men's T20 national team that's going to the T20 World Cup in the United States and the West Indies in June.
Coach Rob Walter's 15-man team that he announced on Tuesday contained no black African batter and only six players of colour - the lowest number the Proteas men's team has taken to an International Cricket Council tournament since the 2016 T20 World Cup that was held in India.
The number of players of colour has veered between seven and eight from the 2017 Champions Trophy and last year's World Cup.
