Organisers apologised to the South African team for a technical snag that led to an abrupt end to their national anthem before their World Cup match against West Indies, the team manager said on Thursday.
"The International Cricket Council has apologised to the team on behalf of the host union and have stressed that this will not happen again going forward," team manager Mohamed Moosajee said in a statement.
"We also realised that the anthem was of a poor quality and we will make sure that a better quality version is used for all of our matches going forward."
The incident took place in the pre-match ceremony at Feroz Shah Kotla even though skipper Graeme Smith and his team mates ignored it to complete the anthem.
