SUSPENDED Cricket SA chief executive Gerald Majola was not trying to delay disciplinary proceedings against him, his lawyers said
"There is usually a pre-hearing conference before something like this to get certain details out of the way and make the process run smoother," said Majola's lawyer Pumezo David.
David, who said the lawyers had not yet seen documents ahead of the hearing, believed CSA had been optimistic in predicting the start of it.
"Initially, when they said the hearing would start by the end of May - that's this Friday - I thought it was ambitious," he said.
"It was never going to happen."
David said earlier that Majola's suspension was "procedurally and substantively" unlawful.
Majola was suspended in March after R4.7-million in bonuses were paid to CSA staff without clearance from the board or the remuneration committee.
