Cricket South Africa (CSA), in conjunction with publishing house Pearsons, have launched a cricket book for children called Play Cricket
Play Cricket is an entertaining, informative guide to South African cricket.
It shows children the fun, excitement and challenges of the game. Besides basic information about bowling, batting and fielding, Play Cricket covers the laws of the game, the basics of setting fields and the preparation required before games.
It is filled with facts, colourful illustrations, photographs and quizzes.
Aspirant cricketers will gain knowledge of all aspects of the game, including the history of cricket, both abroad and in South Africa. Photographs, stats and information about the current Proteas give young cricketers the opportunity to learn more about their cricketing heroes.
This book is aimed at empowering youngsters aged 8 to 14 years, but even the most seasoned player and coach will acknowledge, there is always something worth remembering when it comes to cricket!
“One of the challenges of cricket is that it is a very complex game and it is not easy to come to terms with all its intricacies,” said CSA acting CEO Jacques Faul.
