Proteas u19

Old Edwardians Cricket Club: Malibongwe Maketa, head coach of South Africa U19 men’s team, said his team will draw inspiration from the senior men’s and women’s teams to put up a good showing in the 2024U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup starting next month on home soil.

In January and February this year, South Africa hosted U19 Women’s T20 World Cup and the senior Women’s T20 World Cup, where the Proteas reached the final and captured a nation’s imagination with their performances.

“We draw a lot of inspiration from our senior Proteas teams, both men and women. We saw the women do so well at the World Cup on home soil last year, we saw how the whole country was galvanised by their performance and that gave them that extra push to get into the final.”
