School Cricket: Who Has Produced the most ODI Cricketers?

0

Is there any difference between schools that produce Test Cricketers and those that produce ODI players?

Having recently published a list of all the players who have played test cricket (see here) it was clear that five schools stood out. DHS, Bishops, KES, Grey High School and Jeppe.

However, there is a significant difference when we look at the schools where the last 134 ODI internationals have attended.

Grey College the Leading ODI School

Starting from 1991 until present it is clear that Grey College is the ODI factory in South Africa with 9 players having been selected to play for South Africa. Although you need to go all the way back to 2016 when Rilee Rossouw played to find their last contribution.

Interestingly DHS and KES maintain their dominance as one of the preeminent cricket schools along with  Grey High School with 7 caps and St Stiithians who round out the top five leading ODI schools.

In over three decades of ODI cricket only 147 cricketers have been selected to play for South Africa which underlines how difficult it is to reach the highest level in the sport.

Yet, there are many players who still have been able to make a comfortable living out of professional cricket without every playing for South Africa. One that springs to mind is Westville’s Cameron Delport who has specialised as a T20 player and frequents all the top T20 tournaments around the world.
