Schoolboy cricketers pad up for Khaya Majola week
The Khaya Majola Week is recognised as a nursery of international cricketers.
THERE’LL be a feast of schoolboy cricket to enjoy at the 2019 Khaya Majola Cricket in the Midlands from 16 to 20 December, hosted by the KZN Inland Schools Cricket Union and based at Michaelhouse School in Balgowan.
Local learners from Glenwood High School, Francis Moran, Jordan Hendrikse and Sanele Mnqayi, will be taking part in the tournament.
The Khaya Majola Week is recognised as a nursery of international cricketers, while making the important point that missing selection at this level is not the end of the world for a young cricketer. The record shows that the majority of Protea players in the various formats of the game who have been capped since 1994 played at the week and just about every one of the team currently in action against England appeared there.

Whereas the majority of South African Schools players have come from a relatively small number of schools, the picture is changing as Cricket South Africa’s efforts to transform the sport and provide opportunities to all players begin to bear fruit.
The games begin on Monday, 16 December, and on Saturday, 21 December, the SA Schools team will play the SA Colts in a T20 game.
