NO PICTURE

CRICKET SOUTH AFRICA (CSA) Day is one of the many highlights of our cricketing calendar. It brings the entire cricket family together as we celebrate the diversity of our nation and salute not just our super stars but those who have overcome adversity in all its forms to achieve great deeds.

It is also an occasion to congratulate all those unsung heroes who work so tirelessly behind the scenes without any reward other than the knowledge that they have completed a job well done. It is indeed an occasion for good cheer and camaraderie as much as a salute to our acknowledged champions. The Standard Bank Proteas are the standard bearers of our brand and, despite the disappointing World Cup campaign, have achieved some good results over the past year and we remain blessed by having some of the world’s current great players. The Proteas have played with a spirit of humility and common purpose that has always put the team above individual performance and I am confident that we will see them return to being one of the power houses in the game across all three international formats.

It has been wonderful to notice how comfortably and successfully newcomers have fitted into the Proteas set-up when called up for international duty – have we not all been stirred and excited by the likes of , and Rassie van der Dussen – and it is a tribute to those involved at lower levels such as our franchises and the High Performance Centre that these players have made a successful transition to the highest level.

We also take pride in our national women’s team, our academy and youth squads and those who have overcome disabilities to live their dreams and overcome whatever obstacles have been placed in their paths.

Cricket is, of course, more than a game. It requires contestants to spend more time in one another’s company than any other team sport and this helps to bring about a spirit of upliftment and unity, not just on the sports field but in the social arena across the diverse communities that make up our wonderful land.

It is this diversity that is one of our strengths and contributes so much to our having a unique brand.

There is thus a lot more to celebrate than to acknowledge this year’s award winners. Cricket is the common thread that gives us a sense of national pride and unity. We have achieved much that we can be proud of during the course of the past 28 years, but these successes must also serve to remind us that there is still much that needs to be done.

In conclusion I would like to congratulate all our award winners. Your successes are well deserved and will serve as an inspiration not just to yourselves to set the cross bar even higher but also to those who will be inspired by you to follow in your footsteps in the years ahead. CSA CEO MESSAGE FOR CSA DAY THABANG MOROE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CRICKET SOUTH AFRICA

NO PICTURE

Our disappointing campaign at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup still weighs heavily on our collective minds but it should not be allowed to detract from the overall performances of the past year that have seen our Standard Bank Proteas being ranked in the top three sides in the world across all three formats for most of this time and our ladies being well placed in their quest to qualify directly for the ICC Women’s World Cup in 2021.

Our immediate focus, though, must be on the dual ICC T20 World Cup events that lie ahead of us for both our men and women in 2020 as well as on the inaugural World Test Championship which starts for us when we travel to India for a three-match series in October.

Looking at the greater global picture, our cricket is in good shape with many experienced world-class players backed up by the emergence of some exciting new stars. This is widely acknowledged. Our teams are still admired world-wide and we have seen many fine individual and team performances over the past year. Having some of the world’s top men’s players is a joy to behold. The exploits of the likes of , , , , Vernon Philander, and hardly need repeating and, in this context, I would like to congratulate Dale on his wonderful achievement in becoming our leading Test match -taker of all time and wish him a quick and full recovery from his latest frustrating injury.

What is equally pleasing is the emergence of some truly stellar new players. Aiden Markram and Lungi Ngidi have made such rapid progress that they have almost assumed the status of senior players already while I think all players will be inspired by the way that Rassie van der Dussen has emerged as the find of the year. At the age of 30 I am sure he will be a huge inspiration to other players to keep knocking on the door at franchise level. There is a very notable comparison between him and Australia’s Mike Hussey who had to wait to much the same age to make his international breakthrough.

Congratulations are also due to and who remain the leading new ball combination in the women’s international game and to our , , and who continue to be world leaders as one of the top all-rounders and as the game’s leading power hitter respectively.

Our Coca-Cola under-19 squad are also entering an exciting phase as we look Forward to hosting the ICC under-19 World Cup early in the new year.

With world-class governance and administration in place and domestic cricket systems which continue to produce players of international class, we can face the future both with confidence and optimism.

On behalf of all cricket lovers, it gives me great pleasure to congratulate all our winners in this 28th year of our existence. I also wish to take this opportunity to express appreciation to the many people who work so hard behind the scenes, including our commercial partners, my own staff and those of our Members. I want to also make special mention of our volunteers, for it is their loyal and passionate service that makes cricket world-class in our country.

I extend a special word of thanks to KFC as the sponsors of our CSA Day Amateur Awards Function and as sponsors of South African cricket at all levels from their famous grassroots Mini-Cricket programme right up to our T20 International programme. EDEAF TRANSLATOR Dimakatso Motimele I am at any given situation very optimistic and even though at times life can be disappointing, I am still able to see the bright side.
