Bosch Ruled Out Of SA ‘A’ Tour To Sri Lanka

By

JOHANNESBURG: Momentum Multiply Titans bowling all-rounder Corbin Bosch has been withdrawn from the South Africa A (SA ‘A’) tour to Sri Lanka due to a back injury.

The 28-year-old experienced progressive back discomfort and underwent scans which revealed stress reaction. While further scans showed healing, the scans also indicated that he will not recover completely in time for the squad’s departure to the subcontinent on 31 May.

Dafabet Warriors bowling all-rounder Beyers Swanepoel has been named as his replacement.

Cricket came to South Africa during the Napoleonic Wars and with the British forces occupying South Africa. The first match recorded was in 1808 in Cape Town between two service teams, for a prize of one thousand rix-dollars.

The oldest cricket club in South Africa is the Port Elizabeth Cricket Club, founded in 1843. Few clubs in the world can boast such a long existence. The first championship was held in Port Elizabeth (now Gqeberha) in 1876 for the “champion bat.” Competing teams were Cape Town, Grahamstown, King Williams Town, and Port Elizabeth (now Gqeberha). It was won by King Williams Town and the year after that too.
