- The past four years, TuksCricket has proved to be an excellent platform for players to take their cricket to the next level. This past season has been exceptional for TuksCricket and we had the following representation:

o   Four Proteas men’s players

o   One Protea Ladies player

o   5 TuksCricket players made their franchise debut

o   2 TuksCricket players played for the SA u19 team

o   1 TuksCricket player played for the SA Colts team

o   3 TuksCricket players played for the SA Universities team

 

TuksCricket’s role in local cricket is to set a benchmark for amateur cricket, to develop and fast track players to feed them to franchise level and to focus on transformation and development. 

We would like to congratulate all the players and coaches for all their hard work and dedication towards the club, without them these results would not be possible.
