Young cricketers take part in elite-style training drills at the Wanderers Stadium.

As the Proteas Women chase their first T20 World Cup title, a group of young cricketers are getting a taste of life as elite athletes through a new high-performance training camp designed for children aged six to 13.

The youngsters, drawn from the KFC Mini-Cricket programme, took part in recovery sessions, tactical batting reviews, sprint conditioning, pressure simulation drills and even ice baths at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.

With ice baths, pressure drills and plenty of enthusiasm, young cricket lovers stepped into the shoes of elite athletes as part of a programme celebrating the sport's grassroots foundations.

Footage released from the camp shows children undergoing bowling analysis alongside Proteas Women players, throwing themselves into fielding drills and taking part in batting review sessions.
