Sehata and Morema, both from the Mohodi Cricket Hub, made their bow at last year’s tournament after a historic year for the Mohodi side, which became the first Hub team in South Africa to claim a schools’ league title.

It was, unfortunately, a difficult week for the men from Limpopo, who managed only one victory from their five matches.

Since then, the pair has gone from strength to strength. Sehata was the leading runs scorer in the Limpopo Super 8 League this year, scoring 257 runs at an average of 51.40, including three fifties.

Morema was among the leading wicket-takers in the league, finishing in the top five after snapping up 13 wickets in six appearances. Mahlodi Sekuba earned a call-up, too, giving Mohodi three players in the team.

The Limpopo Champions, Hoërskool Pietersburg, deservedly, also has three representatives, with their most noteworthy inclusion being that of Hanno van Zyl. The all-rounder was in the mix to go to the Khaya Majola Week in Makhanda last year but opted to represent the province at the National Sevens tournament instead. This year, he takes his place in the Limpopo lineup alongside his fellow Pieties’ all-rounder, Nicholas Oerlemans, and opening batsman Philip Weterman.

The Impalas, also, boast the service of the province’s leading wicket-taker and left-arm spinner, Timothy Baker. Baker, Merensky Landbou Akademie‘s mainstay in 2024, racked up an outstanding 18 wickets in just six league games. Just like the man from Tzaneen, Luca van der Merwe, from Hoërskool Nylstroom, is the sole representative of his school.

The experienced Enock Morima will be joined by his Phalaborwa Hub teammate, Bradley Rickotso, while the Hoërskool Piet Potgieter’s fast bowler Du Preez Coetzee and batting all-rounder, Muhammed Muaaz will fly Mokopane’s flag high in Cape Town.
