Cornwall Hill gets a massive boost from Lhuan-dré Pretorius
Lhuan-dre Pretorius will be plying his trade at Cornwall Hill College in the coming year. The SA u19 opening batsman decided to make the move after signing a deal with the Momentum Multiply Titans for next year.
That also means the Titans will have the services of one of the most prolific run scorers in South Africa schoolboys’ cricket for the Khaya Majola and Cubs Weeks.
His presence will undoubtedly strengthen a struggling Cornwall Hill 1st XI and give the junior structures in Northern Gauteng a major boost.
The former St Stithians College pupil’s decision to relocate to the prestigious English school in Pretoria was based on the fact that he has received his education in English over the last four years.
Pretorius is in good nick with the bat and his achievement of finishing among the top five leading run scorers at the u19 World Cup is testament to that fact.
The left-hander scored 287 runs at a strike rate of 94.09 while averaging 57.4. He also performed impeccably behind the stumps, where he took eight catches and was involved in four run outs.
“I’m very excited about my move up north. It’s something new and I always look forward to meeting new people,” he said.
“It also allows me to develop my game in different conditions. The Titans is a very rich cricketing province and I’m looking forward to joining them.”
Detailing his goals at his new school, Pretorius said: “My ambitions at Cornwall Hill will be to be the best version of myself in every aspect and to help the youngsters feed off me and, most importantly, to assist them in developing their game.
“I am in a very privileged position, a position a lot of young people my age dream of. For me, it is very important to just stay humble, set a good example, and lead from the front as best I can.”
Pretorius now joins he a league where he and his SA u19 opening partner Steve Stolk, from Menlopark, will face each other more often.
He will also be going toe-to-toe with Vihan Pretorius, his younger brother, who has become one of Afrikaans Hoër Seunskool’s top performers with the bat.
