Shocking but unfortunately it's lights out for the country.

The punishment dished out by Cricket South Africa for the Warriors not adhering to the governing body's transformation policy could just be tip of the iceberg for the Eastern Cape side.
The Warriors were docked off points and fined R500,000 for fielding only two Black African players instead of the stipulated three during a CSA 1-Day Cup match against the Dolphins in February. As a result of the points deduction, they dropped down in the competition’s standings and will no longer be involved in Wednesday’s qualifier.
The Dolphins, who were then given the four points for the win, will now host the Titans at Kingsmead on Wednesday in the Qualifier 1.
Under Cricket SA’s transformation regulations related to all Men’s domestic cricket, teams are stipulated to field six players of colour which needs to include a mandatory of three Black African players in each game.
The Warriors coach Robin Peterson fielded six players of colour in a match against the Dolphins last month. Diego Rosier, Sinethemba Qeshile, Senuran Muthusamy, Andile Mokgakane, Jason Raubenheimer and Junaid Dawood all played, but the team only had two Black Africans in Qeshile and Mokgakane.
