The 2023 Over-50s Cricket World Cup is just days away and we’re getting excited about the strong teams competing. South Africa will be captained by former Protea Louis Koen. He is joined by fellow former internationals Alan Dawson and Clive Eksteen, vice-captain and former Western Province cricketer Mario Solomons, and former Border fast bowler Mlungsi ‘Lefty‘ Ngece, among others.

The tournament features 14 teams from around the world – South Africa, England, Wales, Australia, West Indies, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, India, United Arab Emirates, Namibia, United States and Canada – and will be played at various venues across Cape Town, including Claremont Cricket Club, Western Province Cricket Club, Green Point Cricket Club and Cape Town Cricket Club, as well as at the University of Stellenbosch and several high schools in the area.

The cherry on top sees the Final being decided at the iconic Newlands Cricket Ground on 20 March.
