“These young, budding cricketers come along to St David’s to test their expertise and skills as players over an extended period. Take Marco Jansen, the current Proteas test cricketer who did just that at the festival just a few years ago and now very recently got his chance to walk onto Lord’s [cricket ground] in the United Kingdom as a national test cricketer.”
