Introduced to cricket at an early age, South Africa U19 captain George van Heerden shared his story on the Daily Show.
Introduced to cricket at an early age, George explained that everyone in his family, including his grandfather and father, played cricket.
George grew up idolizing Proteas legends such as Jacques Kallis, Mark Boucher, and AB de Villiers, as well as Wayne Parnell from the Warriors.
As captain of the U 19 team, George, along with the coach, Shukri Conrad, is trying to instil a balance between an attacking and frantic brand of cricket. Being an all-rounder, George is inspired by cricketers such as Ben Stokes and Mitchell Marsh.
