Bishops Diocesan College, Cape Town, proudly celebrates a landmark achievement for 1st XI Vice‑Captain and SA U19 all‑rounder Michael Kruiskamp, who today makes his professional first‑class debut for the Western Province/Cobras men’s team as a fast bowler.
Michael steps onto the hallowed turf at Newlands Cricket Ground in the opening round of the 1st Class Series against the Warriors—a rare and distinguished accomplishment for a schoolboy cricketer.
