JOHANNESBURG: Cricket South Africa (CSA) is delighted to announce Macron Sport as the new official technical partner to CSA.

This five-year partnership affords the Italian brand exclusive rights to manufacture playing and training kits for the Proteas Men’s, Proteas Women’s, and development teams. The agreement also covers the production of fan merchandise and CSA staff apparel.

The Proteas Men will debut the newly designed kit at the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, set to take place in Pakistan and the UAE from 19 February to 9 March 2025.

The newly styled One-Day International (ODI) shirt features thin black, red and blue lines, complemented by yellow vertical stripes along the sides.

Crafted from Eco Gotex, a polyester material made entirely from recycled plastic, the garments incorporate an Eco Micromesh panel at the back and Eco Mesh inserts for reduced weight and enhanced breathability.

Commenting on the partnership, CSA Chief Executive Officer Pholetsi Moseki said: “CSA is pleased to partner with Macron, a brand that is setting new standards in the sports apparel industry.

“Macron is not just a sportswear brand, it represents excellence and quality, crafted to enhance the performance of athletes on the field and the experience of fans off of it.

“We are delighted to welcome Macron to the cricket community and look forward to fostering a mutually beneficial partnership.”

Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron, added: “This latest partnership with a leading body in the cricketing world confirms that the quality and reliability of Macron sportswear is recognised and requested by a growing number of international sport federations.

“We are committed to supplying garments that not only deliver unrivalled performance but can effectively convey the history, symbols and identity of Cricket South Africa.”

  1. Sport Trivia: Where did Naas Botha play his first test match for South Africa? Answer: Wanderers – Naas Botha was selected to play for South Africa at Rugby Union after playing for the SA Under 20 squad. He made his debut against South America on 26 April 1980 at the Wanderers Stadium, recognised as a cricket ground. This was due to the fact that Ellis Park had been demolished in 1979 to be rebuilt.

  2. The roundarm action used for throwing the ball was used prior to the overarm throw used today. Prior to its conception, the underarm throw was used. The roundarm throw was conceived by English cricketer Tom Walker during the 1790s. Some insiders credit a woman, Christiana Willes to have devised the roundarm style. Wearing the bulky dresses of her time, Willes found the underarm throw difficult and inaccurate and decided to change it.
