What Cricket South Africa said

“The teams were finalised following the conclusion of the CSA Khaya Majola Week this past weekend, when the best players were selected to be part of the six named squads,” read a statement from Cricket South Africa.

Western Province were the top performers at the Khaya Majola Week and their performance means that the Sothern Superstars squad is dominated by their players, with nine of them picked in the 13-man list.

“The team that was second best, KwaZulu-Natal Inland, have seven of their players named in the Coastal Conquerors squad.

“The Cubs Week was rebranded and restructured last season following the revising of the domestic structure. The teams are now named Northern Champions, Central Gladiators, Conquerors, Eastern Warriors, Superstars and Western Legends.

“The make-up of the squads is also different, with the Champions consisting of players from Titans, Easterns, and Limpopo.

“The Gladiators, formerly known as the Lions, are now made up of players from Lions, and Mpumalanga, while the Legends included players from North West, Northern Cape and Free State.

“The Conquerors, formerly the Dolphins, consist of KwaZulu-Natal and KwaZulu-Natal Inland players, with the Warriors remaining unchanged,, meaning their group is made up of players from Eastern Province and Border.

“The Superstars, or formerly Cape Cobras, are also the same and include players from Western Province, Boland, and Garden Route Badgers.”
