CSA launches Proteas milestone programme

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has introduced a new Proteas player milestone programme that will recognise players for their achievements across all three formats of the game.
The milestone programme is inclusive of both Proteas men and women players and will honour players dating back to South Africa's re-admission into international cricket in 1991.
"With CSA currently celebrating its 25-year anniversary, the milestone programme has been conceived as an ideal way to highlight the excellent achievements of our men and women national players," said CSA Chief Executive, Haroon Lorgat.
"Depending on the individual landmark reached, players will receive either a quarter, half or full ounce of gold in the form of specially packaged 25-year anniversary Kruger coin.

"This is a small token of appreciation from CSA and our fans to thank our international cricket heroes for the great memories and excitement provided over the past 25 years. We look forward to establishing this programme as a tradition to recognise the contribution of our players," concluded Lorgat.
Players in the Proteas men's national team will achieve their first milestone for appearances in a 50th Test game, 100th ODI, and 50th T20.

There will also be awards for 3,000 runs scored, 100 wickets taken, 50 field catches, and 100 wicketkeeper dismissals in Tests and ODI's, with the figures reduced to 1,000 runs and 50 wickets taken for T20's.

The Proteas women's national team players will have to make 50 appearances before their first award.
The first milestone awards will be presented during the upcoming series against Sri Lanka.
