WHILE Ethy Mbhalati acknowledges the thought behind the implementation of the new quota system in the new cricket season, he also sees no need for it.

Mbhalati is one of the longest-serving current black cricketers in domestic cricket.

"I think in South Africa we have enough [black players], we don't need to worry," the 32-year-old Phalaborwa-born Mbhalati said. "We can pick four [black players] even tomorrow to go play for the Proteas and they will do well, and they will play on merit. We have too much talent here."

The 2014-2015 domestic season gets under way in September with the Sunfoil four-day series. When Mbhalati's side, the Titans, take on the Highveld Lions at Wanderers in the opening match of the season, the teams will take to the field with a new quota law.

In an effort to quicken the rate of transformation, domestic teams will have to five players of colour, of which two have to be black African. The lanky seam bowler believes the new quota system will not affect team selection in his side or at other provincial teams.

"I've been doing my own research and I've noticed that most of the franchises have been signing more black players to have balanced teams.

"We [Titans] have about five or six, and we continue to work with our local boys in Atteridgeville in an effort to groom them. I think it's very exciting to train with those guys. The feedback I get from them as well is positive. They feel like they are getting a chance to play in the long run."

He admits that transformation at national level has been slow, but believes with more players playing at domestic level, the numbers will increase.
