Thank you @cricketdistrict @tobymarriott for coming out to Khayelitsha and capturing some incredible images of our players and coaches! #cricketforgood
Visited the remarkable @CATCH_Trust today in the township of Khayelitsha.
@Gary_Kirsten and the team, supported by the @_MCCFoundation, have built training facilities in one of the poorest areas in the Western Cape to support hundreds of young cricketers. Incredible work.

South Africa Tour Update 🇿🇦🩷
Two great wins today against teams from Khayelitsha Township 🏏
It was also a day for reflection. Seeing firsthand the challenges this community faces reminds us how much we have to be thankful for back home, and also highlights the incredible impact of this charity.
In 2018, we brought two boys’ squads to the township to donate equipment. At that time, their cricket pitch was a barren area covered in stones and broken glass. Fast forward to today, and our girls played on the same facility, which now has an artificial surface the size of a cricket pitch.
All of this equipment has been donated to The Catch Trust charity in Khayelitsha, the largest township in Cape Town.
A huge thank you to our players, parents, and clubs for your incredible generosity and support!🙌🏻
