Ismail Minty’s take
on the Spinners
Senwes Scenario spoke to Ismail minty, the general
manager of Rural Development at north West
cricket, about the Senwes Spinners project at the
final between humansvlakte and Rabana.
what has been the most inspiring aspect
of the project?
the children who form part of the project knew
nothing about cricket when they started. the
progress they have made and the difference that
cricket has made in these children’s lives, is
inspirational.
what has been the highlight for you?
a few of the children have been selected for provincial
squads. they inspire the ones who form
part of the project now.
what does the future hold for the project?
every three years we look at the schools that
compete in the project and try to change the mix
or add new teams. at the end of next year we will
once again go through this exercise.
How do the coaches benefit?
the coaches have done well in the various
courses that they have attended. During 2009,
some of the coaches were invited to attend an
Icc coaches’ conference, where they received
an enormous amount of cricket information from
top coaches and players, such as corrie van Zyl,
andrew hall, gordon Parsons and Jacques Faul.
they also visited the high Performance center,
run by the north West university, to learn more
about the human body and how to structure a
training programme for players, how to effectively
condition players for a season of cricket and also
about the rehabilitation of injured athletes. S
