It gives me great pleasure that I am putting pen to paper for this edition of the PowerPlay newsletter. This is the first under the new revised coach education structure!
We have just concluded an action-packed season that saw Cricket SA host two successful world cups in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup as well as the inaugural ICC U19 Women’s World Cup. The performance of our Momentum Proteas was something to behold in this competition and I am sure you would have been proud on how far girls and women’s Cricket has come in South Africa.
I also hope that the 2022/2023 season has brought lots of memories for you and everyone involved in your programmes, and that you have found some sort of fulfilment in the achievements of your individual players, teams and the growth of all the people that you were able to have a positive impact on in this season. After all, I guess that it is this emotional reward that we all strive for in this game!
It gives me great pleasure to put pen to paper once more to the coach development newsletter! The 2023/2024 summer season is upon us, and it brings along with it very exciting cricket activities that I am certain we are all looking forward to.
The Proteas’ performances at the ICC’s 2023 world cup edition were encouraging and we are certainly looking forward to what this group of players and its management team will achieve in the near future. Congratulations to the ICC World Cup 2023 edition champions, Australia on a very successful campaign!
A big congratulations should also go out to the Springboks for their back-to-back World cup victories. The Springboks success truly gripped and united the country in a special way and all South Africans have been beaming with pride
