Over the past few years, the annual Awqaf SA Youth Cricket Tournament has grown to become one of the biggest Youth Cricket Tournaments in South Africa. 

The T20 Youth Cricket Tournament started from humble beginnings in 2016 and is hosted in association with Primrose Cricket Club and held under the patronage of former Cricket South Africa vice president, Beresford Williams and former Western Province Cricket Association CEO, Nabeal Dien

The tournaments are free and aimed to give equal opportunity to all players irrespective of their financial or social backgrounds.

The details of the Tournament are as follows:

• A hundred-ball tournament

• Age groups U14, U16 and U18

The ethos of the Tournament aims to promote social cohesion and is designed to give the young players a sense of cricket heritage that instills within them the values of social justice using sport as a vehicle.
