Jarryd Michaux

Jarryd Michaux did his schooling at Doon Heights Primary and Durban High School.

The all-rounder cannot remember a time where he hasn’t played or known about cricket. He has been playing at Amanzimtoti Cricket Club (ACC) since U11 and started playing for the club’s first team at the age of 13 and this is his 13th season with the first side.

“I never represented any KZN teams, so premier league will be my highest level of cricket.

“The DPL tournament a master plan to promote the game in KZN.

“It’s no secret that Kingsmead has been quiet over the years, but by bringing in youth and different communities, it may just provide the coverage needed. Identifying young talent is also one of the key aspects of this tournament.

“After a poor season with the bat for ACC, I had no hopes of being picked, so I’m ecstatic to be a part of this competition and look forward to scoring runs for the team.”

Jarryd is playing for the Drakensburg Thunder.

“I would like to perform at my best in the DPL and give myself the belief again that I am able to play cricket at this level. This is something I have lacked in my game for a while now. I want to have fun and not put too much pressure on myself.

“As there are many big names playing in the DPL, in my team I am looking forward to batting with the likes of Cameron Delport and Vaughn van Jaarsveld, two professional cricketers who hit the ball very hard and have achieved big things in their careers.

For me the oval will be one of those memories that will stick with me forever. Running around the field as a child while my dad bowled his dibbly dobblers from the tennis court end is something I still remember, and to now be the one to do it is very special and I treasure every game that I play there.”

Cody Gertze

Cody Gertze, who attended Westville Senior Primary and Westville Boys’ High schools, is an all-rounder.

He has been playing cricket for 19 years and this is his second season with Amanzimtoti Cricket Club (ACC). The highest level of cricket he has played is for the Dolphins U23 Colts team.

“The DPL is a great campaign for players, especially in the club scene, to get a taste of a different level of cricket and exposure. It is a great eye opener and a great doorway for stepping through to play at higher honours.

“A tournament like this changes up the excitement for supporters not going to the same tournaments season after season and gives them a glance of some of their cricket heroes live in action in a fantastic campaign. I’m all in for the idea of the DPL and it’s an awesome way to test your skills and character.”

Cody is playing for the Umgeni Rhinos team.

“Some of the games are being played in Toti, which is great exposure for ACC, as the DPL will bring interest to the public and it will further put the club in the eye of the public and bring in great support. People should come to watch the DPL, so that they can see what depth and sort of talent we have housed in our club system.

“ACC is a fantastic club environment with a rich history and great culture. There are awesome characters around and a bunch of talented sportsmen playing for the club.

“The Toti oval is one of the best grounds we have in the premier league and to have this competition played on our home ground is a massive boost for us.

The DPL will be very exciting to watch, so we urge everyone to go and support at the Toti oval and then at Kingsmead for the semi-finals and final.”
