The Unlimited Titans wicket keeper, Mangaliso Mosehle, will be leaving the Pretoria franchise to join the Bizveld Lions next season.

The 25-year-old has opted for a short trip to the south after helping the Pretoria franchise secure a double last season.

After spending seven years in SuperSport Park, he said friendship has helped him become a better cricketer.

“One of my biggest achievement was spending time with my amazing teammates. In the seven years that I have been here, I was fortunate enough to meet and work with these lovely people. They have made me the player I am today and I am grateful for that.”

“Even though I’m leaving the Titans, I would always cherish the memories I had with my teammates and perhaps one day I will tell my grandchildren about the crazy things we used to do,” he said.

Mosehle, who is an entertainer, is perhaps known for his crazy Mortal Kombat celebration with fellow friend and soon to be former teammate Tabraiz Shamzi.

“We had so much fun doing those celebrations. Shamzi is crazy, he always comes up with these weird celebrations,” he said jokingly.

During the Ram Slam final, Mosehle single handedly blasted the Titans to victory against the Dolphins in the final last year. He described the performance as a highlight to his career after scoring 87 from 39 balls.

“I did not realise how big it was until the next day. To be a hero in the final is a feeling you cannot describe.”

While Mosehle was full of praises to the Titans players, he singles out Heino Kuhn as his hero and a man who made way for him.

“Heino is a phenomenal guy, he swapped his batting position to make room for me to play. It was such a huge thing to do and I want to thank him again. In the past three years, I’ve been a regular in the side only missing a handful of games.”

Mosehle will now venture into the unknown territories of the Netherlands where he will play club cricket for Amsterdam cricket club for three month before joining the Lions.

Mosehle said he was grateful to the Titans for starting his career.

“I would like to thank the coach Rob for giving me the opportunity and also the managing staff.”
