This is as per the domestic restructure that was implemented two seasons ago, which saw two divisions of 15 provincial teams replace the six-team franchise system.
The eight-seven, two-division split remained the same for the first two seasons, with a recurring annual automatic promotion and relegation from the conclusion of the 2023-24 season onwards.
In their first season, the Tuskers were crowned One-Day Cup Division 2 champions. They were runners-up in the competition for the 2022-23 season and had good results in the different formats.
“Congratulations to KwaZulu-Natal Inland and the entire Tuskers team on gaining promotion to CSA Division 1,” said CSA CEO Pholetsi Moseki.
“The automatic promotion and relegation system aims to produce a competitive, high-performance system that will not only increase our talent pool, but also provide opportunity and aspiration for all CSA members.
“The Knights’ relegation only means that there is a healthy competition in the system which allows our members to build a competitive structure and pipeline that will strengthen the domestic system.”
