"This season, we sought to create a new experience for the kids – one that is memorable and once again, life-changing by giving them an opportunity to rub shoulders with their Proteas heroes when they take on Zimbabwe.”
The kids will also be part of the formal proceedings such as throwing the coin toss, singing the national anthem and the main highlight being the kids getting active on the boundaries as ball boys or girls.
