CSA CEO Gerald Majola said: "England have come off an Ashes victory over Australia and the Proteas have just completed their most successful season yet. This has set the stage for an icon tour of note.
"The Proteas will be looking for full public support to take them to victory in all forms of the game, so the public is urged to book early to ensure their seats at the matches.
"Many of the matches are in the school holidays with all the venues being family-friendly. Prices have been set at affordable rates and the Proteas will also be on hand from time-to-time to give autographs.
"CSA wishes Graeme Smith and the Proteas all the best. We are most confident that they will come out on top".
Clement Motale, Director Group Sponsorships Standard Bank, commented: “The International Pro20s against the English tourists are sure to deliver an awesome cricketing and entertainment experience, and we have no doubt that the Proteas’ loyal fans will fill both stadiums to capacity. As the sponsor of the Standard Bank ODI team, we also encourage fans across the country to come out and enjoy great cricket at affordable prices.”
Rob Fleming, Sponsorship Manager of SA Breweries, commented: “Since our re-admission into International Cricket, Test Series between South Africa and England have all been very tightly contested affairs. With South Africa currently ranked number 1 in the ICC Test rankings and England, victors over Australia in the recent Ashes Series, this summer promises to be the most exciting of all tours between these two teams.
“With great Cricket on offer and the Barmy Army contributing to the off-field atmosphere, we encourage all South Africans to come out and support the Proteas.”
Bernard Pieters, Senior Sponsorship Manager at MTN South Africa, commented: “When the England team visit our backyard, it is always a special occasion and this season will be no different. We are expecting some quality match-ups between the key players in the respective teams. We wish both teams well and expect the atmosphere between the South African fans and the Barmy Army to be electric.”
