Cricket South Africa officially launched its 2019-20 season and is expecting a busy year ahead.
The season has already taken off with the new CSA Provincial T20 that was held over the past two weekends.
Both the men’s and women’s teams have also started their campaigns with their respective tours to India and the new franchise season will launch on 7th October.
Kugandrie Govender, the Chief Commercial Officer at CSA is hopeful of entertainment, big crowds, family and fun.
“We’re really excited to welcome fans to our stadiums. Ultimately cricket is all about the fans. The game is nothing without them…fans in the stands, braais on the side, the cheers, the fours, the sixes, the celebrations… it’s all about summer and cricket”, said Govendor, as reported by supersport.com
He also highlighted the importance of fans and their support for cricket.
“It’s not all about cricket, it’s more than cricket. This summer our hashtag #ItsMoreThanCricket stands true as we celebrate fans as part of the game. Excellence in the field is great, but it’s nothing if we have no fans to celebrate.
So, entertainment is the order of the day. Family fun is extremely important, CSA is all about family fun”, quotes supersport.com
Safety is also another area which they are paying attention to. “It’s also about safety for fans, a key area for us, and we want to make sure that the stadiums are safe for fans. We want to make them fun days out for everyone”, he said.
The women’s team is currently on a tour to India where they are playing the T20I leg of the tour. We hope back home, women’s games attract home crowds for the proteas women wherever they play.
