This has now been extended to the Cricket SA’s RPCs programme, which numbers 12 RPCs currently and together with the CSA Hubs programme have been instrumental in transforming the cricket landscape over the past few years and changing lives by bringing through young talent from townships and rural areas. Many youngsters from the RPC programme are being selected for junior provincial sides and are receiving bursaries to develop further.
