The Garden Route Badgers come from South Africa’s scenic southern coastline and pool players from George, Oudtshoorn and surrounding towns across the Western Cape interior.

The Badgers have steadily developed a competitive edge, with a strong emphasis on regional talent and disciplined cricket. Their 2024/25 season featured solid performances across all formats.

Based at the Recreation Ground in Oudtshoorn and coached by Letlotle Sesele, the squad combines experience and youth. George van Heerden headlines their squad. The former South Africa Under-19 captain will be a key player, together with the likes of veteran batter Yaseen Valli. Another ex-U19 player, Ruan Terblanche, has the potential to shine and so too has Liam Alder and Benni Hansen.
