For years I’ve been on a journey that took me to a forest of questions.
What is the secret to an efficient cricket pipeline?
Is the domestic system flawed?
Is the gap between domestic cricket and International cricket further or closer to the edge than we first thought?
Or are there other flaws in our system that we maybe have not yet discovered?
It was definitely all the above. So, we have produced a variety of digital magazines exploring our system and uncovered stories in South African Cricket.
This magazine issue deals with another crucial part of our pipeline – the Club Cricket system.
I’m sure that we all as fanatics of this game are constantly reading news about club cricket. There are many reliable sources on the web and social media that do amazing jobs at updating you with your daily content.
But seeing as this is a monthly publication, I wanted to produce something different for you all.
I instantly thought about my team of content creators, coaches and players. I contacted all of the writers that have been involved in the club game – in both Women’s cricket and Men’s cricket.
So I’m feeling quite confident that this will take you on a fascinating, yet unique, journey into the world of club cricket.
Now I do warn you. Some of the stories in this issue will definitely evoke a whole range of emotions, but I do still urge everyone to have their favourite snacks near them as we explore the content that’s inside this issue of Cricket Fanatics Magazine.
I know we don’t do enough content on club cricket – and if you join our Patreon account we will definitely do Exclusive Club cricket content – but I wanted to bring you guys an issue that exclusively features a variety of stories that teaches us lessons that we could use to help the system.
Being a Patreon of cricket is what we all want to achieve, and we hope that we all can work together to achieve that dream.
Anyway, enjoy Issue 23, our first-ever magazine dedicated to club cricket.
