SA U19s depart for pre-World Cup camp HD

With just 13 days to go to their ICC U19 World Cup opening match against Bangladesh, the Coca-Cola South Africa under-19s coach, Lawrence Mahatlane, is satisfied that his side have done a good job so far in preparing for the tournament where they will be defending their title. They depart this evening for a five-day camp in Abu Dhabi to continue their preparation for the tournament after emerging victorious at the 2016 Cricket South Africa (CSA) Franchise Cubs Week in Stellenbosch last week. The training camp in Abu Dhabi includes warm-up matches against England U19s and a UAE invitation squad. Mahatlane believes that it is important to play competitive matches in similar conditions to Bangladesh before the team arrive in the country.
