South Africa's cricket chief has refuted claims that he forced coach Russell Domingo to pick a player of colour for the World Cup semi-final.

"This report is false," said Cricket SA CEO Haroon Lorgat. "There was no SMS sent by me to the coach."

South Africa have not had an official quota system since 2007, but normally field at least four players of colour in their XI.

Former England defender Phil Neville has been talking to 5 live about whether England striker Harry Kane should play for the U-21 side in the European Championships in the Czech Republic in June.

"Harry Kane's development as a player will only be enhanced by going to the tournament. How many times do we see others nations take their best teams to an U-21 tournament and then two years later go to a major tournament with the full national team and go and win in.

"Spain did it. Germany did it in 2009. It's about time England actually got on the coattails of these nations. We're not punishing players by taking them to a major tournament. Tournament football is the most important part of a player's development."
