STELLENBOSCH. \u2013 The South African Schools\u2019 selection committee has their work cut out during this year\u2019s Khaya Majola Week here.<\/p>\n

The tournament has been shortened to only four match days for this year\u2019s edition and a rain-interrupted second day has without a doubt put further pressure on the selectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rain will definitely make our selection process a bit more difficult than usual with the fact that the tournament has also been shortened by a day. We take performances during the Khaya Majola Week into consideration for selection for the SA Schools and Colts teams. We do however have the various youth camps within the regions to fall back on as selection panel if any of the remaining days\u2019 play is further interrupted by rain,\u201d said Patrick Moroney, convenor of the national u19 selection committee.<\/p>\n

Cricket South Africa hosts various camps around the country to help them identify and develop players as part of their youth development pipeline.<\/p>\n

Besides Moroney, the SA u19 selection panel consists of Shukri Conrad, Vincent Barnes, Loots Bosman, and Lewis Manthata. Conrad is also the national u19-side\u2019s head coach.<\/p>\n

Although all nine matches were abandoned due to rain before lunch on day two, there was still a few players who managed to produce impressive performances.<\/p>\n

Eastern Province\u2019s opening batsmen, Zac Micklewright (65*) and Ashley Ostling (54*) shared an unbeaten 126 in their match against Boland before play was abandoned.<\/p>\n

Western Province\u2019s opening batsman Maahir Joseph (69*) recorded the highest individual score of the day with his half-century against KwaZulu-Natal Inland.<\/p>\n

The best bowling performance belonged to Namibia Cheetahs\u2019 JC Balt who picked up three of Border\u2019s wickets at the cost of only 18 runs.<\/p>\n

Central Gauteng Lions\u2019 Richard Seletswane (37*) has without a doubt caught the eye with another good innings in his side\u2019s match against the Titans. He already represented the SA Schools side in 2021 as well as the national u19-side in 2022.<\/p>\n
