Why is BCCI mulling to call-off India’s tour to South Africa?


New Delhi: It’s bad news for cricket lovers as BCCI is reportedly mulling to call-off the highly-anticipated tour to South Africa, scheduled to start in November this year.
The cause for current rift between the BCCI and Cricket South Africa- who are already struggling to reach an agreement over tour schedule- is the likely appointment of Haroon Lorgat as the new CSA CEO. 
BCCI reportedly has threatened to call-off the tour if Lorgat, a former ICC president, is appointed at the helm of CSA. 
Earlier,  BCCI interim president Jagmohan Dalmiya had expressed India’s unhappiness over the uneven gaps between the three Tests. There is a two-day break between the first and second Test and eight days between second and third. 
The Indian board is reportedly also unhappy with a seven-match ODI series, which it reckons is too long.
