Johannesburg: Cricket South Africa (CSA) recalled India's role in helping them return to international fold, in 1991, after nearly four decades of isolation, at a gala dinner here to mark the silver jubilee of non-racial cricket in the country.
"They welcomed us back with open arms," CSA said in a video message as dancers performed to the music of AR Rahman's Oscar-winning song 'Jai Ho'.
Reminding the audience that Clive Rice had led the historic first tour to India, CSA chief executive Haroon Lorgat read a moving message from the late captain's widow, who though was not present on the occasion.
