Proteas batting consultant issues a timely reminder to SA cricketers

Date: Jun 19, 2025

Proteas batting consultant Ashwell Prince has issued a timely reminder to South African (SA) cricketers looking to push the national team aside for the low-hanging fruits of T20 league across the world.

SA's ICC World Test Championship-winning men's team touched down at OR Tambo Airport earlier today, with the Mace in-hand, as they rightfully received a hero's welcome following their success at Lord's in England last weekend. Prince, who formed a crucial part of head coach Shukri Conrad's technical staff, says the joys of winning a major trophy with the Proteas badge on your chest trumps any lucrative reward of playing in the T20 global leagues.

Well, you're hoping that the young kids will aspire to play test cricket as much as they aspire today the shorter format.

Something I said the players in the dressing room before the match  that there are lots of badges in the world t20s etc  for lots of teams and you can have lots of money.

But there is only one badge can give you the opportunity to walk out on to the middle of Lords and represent your country  ad do this. Only this badge can give you the opportunity. So for every young player don't ever forget that.”
