Mumbai: Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Sunday paid rich tributes to BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya, who passed away in a Kolkata hospital today at the age of 75 after suffering a massive cradiac arrest.
"We knew that he was not in good health in the last while but it has nevertheless come as a shock to all of us and I extend the sympathy of the CSA community to his family, friends and cricketing colleagues and indeed to the entire Indian cricket community," said CSA president Chris Nenzani.
"The fact that he served two terms as president of the BCCI and was also president of the ICC speaks volumes both about his love for the game and the strong leadership he was able to provide. Mr. Dalmiya was the man who proposed our re- entry as a Full Member of the ICC and he played a major role right to the end to ensure our relationship with the BCCI will remain strong and steadfast," he added.
CSA chief executive Haroon Lorgat, said: "Mr. Dalmiya will never be forgotten in South African cricket circles for being instrumental in welcoming us back into the international cricket fold and for extending in 1991 that historic invitation to the United Cricket Board to make possible the Proteas first ever tour abroad to India.

Not willing to give up, many pushed him for a comment. “I wonder with this intelligence how you ruled us for 200 years”, said Dalmiya with a smile as he walked out of the meeting.
