CSA Chief Executive Officer, Pholetsi Moseki, shared his enthusiasm for the upcoming season:
“The 2023/24 domestic cricket season promises to be a celebration of the sport, its global community, and the unmatched passion of cricket fans.
“In an effort to make the excitement of domestic cricket accessible to fans worldwide, cricket lovers can follow the competition live on SuperSport whilst non-televised matches can be streamed live on Pitchvision and Fan Code.
“The season’s campaign, “Woza Nawe”, calls for fans to join in the excitement, no matter where they are. The campaign aims to foster CSA’s objectives of inclusivity, unity, and a sense of belonging among cricket fans worldwide.
“It encourages everyone, from avid supporters to those new to the sport, to come together and celebrate the spirit of cricket,” Moseki concluded.
This season will offer fans an enriched experience, including interactive social media engagements, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive interviews with players and coaches. Fans will have the opportunity to be part of the action like never before and can join the conversation on social media using the hashtag #WozaNawe.
