Assupol TuksCricket Players Invited to CSA Spin Bowling Camp

Posted on June 22, 2015

Assupol TuksCricket players Ruben Claassen and Theunis de Bruyn were invited to take part in the CSA Spin Bowling Camp that was hosted at the CSA Centre of Excellence.

In the CSA press release about the camp, the CSA High Performance Manager, Vincent Barnes said, "This annual camp has particular significance this year,” commented Vinnie Barnes, CSA High Performance Manager. “If one looks at our international fixture list for the second half of the year, we have the Castle Lager Proteas playing away Test Series in both Bangladesh and India while South Africa A will be playing both four-day unofficial Tests and a triangular one-day series in India. Spin bowling obviously plays an important part on the sub-continent so it is important that we prepare players properly, particularly those who have little or no experience of playing in that part of the world. The camp will also be attended by some of our less experienced batsmen who will be representing these various squads. Some of our Proteas batsmen have also asked to attend in preparation for the tour of Bangladesh. Our under-19 squad struggled during their recent tour to Bangladesh where they will be defending their ICC World title next year so we are also involving players at this level.”

Congratulations to both players.
