Zendon Verster and Byron Fraser are the founders of CoachCricXI (Pty) Ltd. They are both passionate cricket players and coaches with extensive experience. They felt the need to spread and instill the love for the game of cricket and wanted to reach as many persons, players and coaches as possible. Although they are based in South Africa and are both true South Africans they wanted to share their passion throughout the world. To do this they started a Company – CoachCricXI (Pty) Ltd and initiated a few social media platforms including YouTube (2 channels), Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. They have setup a Cricket Academy in Pretoria, South Africa where young players have the opportunity to learn new skills and improve on a daily basis as well as an online 1 on 1 coaching system to accommodate international clients.
They have formulated Training Schedules that can be used to develop and enhance certain aspects or skills in cricket as well as a Publication that can assist in mental preparation. They are in a development phase and will release many more interesting products, coaching aspects and training skills related to the game of cricket.
Here is a quick look at their cricket experience that they have built up over the last 10 to 15 years.
