KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Creator of the Howzattt Cricket Brand, the Beginner's Guide to Cricket (translated into English and Zulu) and our latest innovation, the downloadable E-Book, which is an online version of our Beginner's Guide to Cricket.

The book was endorsed by cricketing legends, Dr Ali Bacher and the Late Bob Woolmer, as well as several leading former international cricket players and officials.

Our Howzattt Beginner's Guide to the Game of Cricket acts as a beacon to educate and empowering individuals, those wanting to get involved in cricket, and hopefully other sports as well to do so. We believe that cricket is more than just a sport in South Africa, its a passion that runs deep through our nations veins, and through our E-Pub book and paperback versions, we hope we can make a significant contribution to making cricket available and accessible to everyone in our country and around the world.

Q: Cricket Profile – Champions and Courage – James Albanie

We start our Cricket Profiles of Champions with James Albanie, warm up coach for the Over 40s Cricket World Cup winning team, as well as SA Over 50s team player. This is James' story as is, unedited and in his own words...

"My story is the story of a rural boy growing up in the dusty streets of Touwsriver in an extended family with strong religious values. Sport in Touwsriver was one of the means to escape the hardship and boredom in this Little Karoo town. Many young kids and I were very privilege to have amazing teachers like Clyde Sass Moos Nicholas, Willem Hartnick and many others. They open the world of sport through books to us. We would play cricket but talk of the great West Indian teams who were our heroes.

Q: GRASSROOTS CRICKET: PROFILES OF CHAMPIONS: LUNDI MBANE

Today we feature the last of the "famous five" Over 40s Cricket World Cup champions and their roads to success and glory. Here is Lundi Mbane's story in his own words...

"That's me (I was raised in Mdantsane. When I was nine years old, I began playing street cricket with the older guy. At my school (Zanokukhanya P School), a student who was older than me used to play cricket. He told the teacher, who was also a cricket coach, that I could play the game. His teacher then took me to Baker's Mini Cricket. After that, he also took me to play cricket for Willows Cricket Club, which intrigues me. I have participated in games for all age groups within the Border, including Border Academy, Border B and Border A, Warriors, and SA invitation teams against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Recently, We won the World Cup with Vets over 40)".

We hope that his and all the other stories inspire and ignite the cricketing spark. Howzattt Cricket along with many other wonderful grassroots organisations and clubs are working to find, nurture and develop future grassroots stars.

Thank you to Ridiwaan Williams for the picture. Picture: Lundi Mbane standing on extreme left hand side.

question

Q: PROFILES OF GRASSROOTS CRICKET WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS

After hosts South Africa won the inagural International Masters Cricket Over 40s World Cup, the spotlight has been thrown on the success of grassroots cricket players in the tournament, and it once again highlights the vitally important roles that grassroots level clubs and organisations make in helping to mould and nurture, new potential cricketing stars.

Here we have Abdul Aziz Temoor (second from right) and his story about his love for cricket, no matter what!

"I played primary school cricket at strand moslem , high school at Strand secondary , there were social clubs like yellow roses,broadlands,calypso, barbados & carnations ,i played for barbado's and eventually joined HHCC at the age of 14. Oh yes and pat cricket we use to learn hifs and spend hole day everyday at the school/ masjid premises.the principal at that time mr sedick fanie banned us from playing on the premises but it didnt stop us . we got 6 of the best every morning in his office haha so ya thats what i was willing to take for cricket 😆 A GOOD OLD HIDING" .

Now that's passion, committment and a love for cricket! Something Howzattt Cricket hopes to develop - a love for, and desire to play cricket. Who knows where the next cricketing star could emerge from?

Q: FINDING NEW STARS!

Howzattt caught up with some extremely enthusiastic young cricket players/fans from the JP21 Foundation who are watchig the final of the International Masters Cricket Over 40s World Cup today between South Africa and New Zealand. They were all thrilled to get their Howzattt - A Beginner's Guide to the Game of Cricket from us, and were soon busy collecting autographs from the South African team.

Named for the well-known South African all rounder cricketer, J.P. Duminy, who saw a need to bring cricket to the underpriviliged communities and schools of the Western Cape, and give them hope of fulfilling their dreams.
According their mantra online (

https://lnkd.in/dX9UhpYY

) "the JP21 Foundation is based on a sincere commitment to reigniting the passion and enthusiasm for the game of cricket in underprivileged communities and schools, particularly in the Western Cape areas of Mitchells Plain and Strandfontein. Our long-term objectives are to promote a positive and healthy lifestyle and allowing learners to have fun at the same time, all while playing cricket".

Howzattt is so pleased to have been able to play a part in inspiring the children from this amazing foundation. Our mission is the same as the foundation- bring cricket to as many as possible, and find new stars, wherever we can!

We hope to be able to partner with them in future projects as well, and we urge companies and sponsors to help make their dreams come true.

Q: What are the two things you would do to increase people’s interest in cricket?

A: Good morning! We believe there are many things that one can do to increase interest in cricket. At Howzattt , we're on a mission to champion cricket through the incredible reach of social media. We firmly believe that in today's digital age, social platforms offer a perfect avenue to showcase the fantastic benefits of cricket.

Our approach involves something exciting: a downloadable E-Pub book and hardcover editions titled "A Beginner's Guide to the game of Cricket." Our goal? To demystify every facet of cricket, making it not just understandable but relatable for everyone. We're thrilled because we think this approach will inspire a fresh wave of cricket enthusiasts, especially among the newer generations!

But it doesn't stop there though.... the Howzattt team is actively seeking both corporate and individual support. Why? Because we're passionate about extending this message to areas that have been historically overlooked. We firmly believe that there's an abundance of talent waiting to be discovered in these communities, and we want to provide the opportunity for dreams to flourish where they might not have had the chance before.
