Former Proteas batsman Ashwell Prince played for Gelvandale Cricket Club before moving into coaching.

“You have to ask the question, why is it that guys like Josh Chippendale have to make a career outside Cape Town,” former Western Province coach Prince was quoted as saying by the the Plainsman earlier this year.

“The talent is not being recognised in his own province, which means there’s a lot of problems in the system or pipeline.”
