Former Proteas fast bowler Garnett Kruger took two wickets in Lions Over-40’s win over Boland Over-40 in the inter-provincial tournament in Johannesburg this week.
Kruger completed figures of two for 27 in nine overs. A day earlier, he had been removed from the bowling attack for bowling too many bouncers in an over against Border Over-40.
May 2023’s inter-provincial tournament features some of the country’s leading active over-40 cricketers, including former Proteas batsman Ashwell Prince, who is captaining Western Province Over-40.
The South Africa Over-40 squad for November 2023’s Africa Cup in Tshwane will be announced after the inter-provincial tournament.
South Africa will host the inaugural Over-40 World Cup in March 2023. The tournament was recently relocated from Pakistan.
