Prince pointed to the aftermath of a team meeting following the 2007 World Cup tournament, that destroyed his trust in the South African system and of his fellow teammates. At what was supposed to be a ‘clear the air’ meeting involving, players coaches and some senior Cricket SA officials following that tournament, in which there was plenty of acrimony between the players, one white player according to Prince said the reason for South Africa’s failure was the “quota system”.
“We said: ‘If you think the team lost because of quotas, then scrap the quota system. We were firm believers that we were good enough to be in the team, we believed we were better than some white players. If anyone didn’t think so, we wanted them to tell us to our face.” “I didn’t care if I played another game for the country or not. For me, that was not a team, because that was the kind of environment we played in – we were never one, never,” Prince remarked.
