Cricket stars share experience on Glo-sponsored African Voices Playmakers 

This weekend, CNN African Voices Playmakers, a program sponsored by telecommunications behemoth, Globacom, will showcase three top African cricket players.

Suné Luus, the former captain of the Rwandan national cricket team, Eric Dusingizimana, the captain of the South African National Women’s Cricket Team, and Craig Ervine, the captain of the Zimbabwean National Cricket Team, will each share experience on how the sport is quickly gaining popularity on the African continent and how they are stepping up to the plate to make their passion more popular.

Dusingizimana, a cricketer who was born in 1987, holds a Guinness World Record in the sport, which he set in 2016 for a charitable purpose. In order to break the Guinness World Record, he batted continuously for 51 hours in 2016. In contrast, Luus, 27, is an all-rounder who bowls leg spin for the South African national cricket team.

Zimbabwe’s limited overs team is led by international cricketer Ervine, 35. He is a left-handed hitter who has played first-class cricket in the Logan Cup for a variety of Zimbabwean teams as well as Test and limited overs games for the Zimbabwe national cricket team.

The show will be televised on Saturday at 9.30 a.m., Sunday at 4.30 a.m., 7:30 a.m., 12.30 p.m., and 7.30 p.m. The same episode will be played again on Monday at 4 a.m. and again in two parts on Tuesday and Wednesday at 6.45 Pm.
