Text Info Strip
SACA is the representative Player Association for professional cricketers in South Africa. We are committed to promoting and protecting the interests of its members and the game of cricket in South Africa.
SACA offers player services designed to meet their needs on and off the field. These services include healthcare coverage through Momentum Health, free Virgin Active gym membership, a provident fund, and access to Player Plus. SACA has negotiated these benefits on behalf of players, ensuring that they receive world-class services and benefits.
The SACA MVP is South Africa’s premier statistical ranking system, designed to recognise and reward impactful player performances. Players accumulate points after each round of matches based on their batting, bowling and fielding contributions as well as team wins. The system weighs points across different aspects to accurately reflect the value of performances in each match.
Player Plus is SACA’s comprehensive player wellness and development programme for professional and recently retired cricketers. The programme is player-centric, focusing on upskilling players while they play and providing them with the support they need for a successful and fulfilling life.
The SACA commercial programmes provide partners access to collective player rights, allowing brands to license player attributes to grow and develop their brand.
The SACA Commercial Programme serves as the exclusive collective rights holder for all professional cricketers in South Africa, encompassing national, domestic, and SA20 players across both the men’s and women’s game. Through the commercial programme, SACA fosters a sustainable commercial ecosystem that benefits both the game’s growth and the long-term professional profiles of its members.
Our programme supports players in building their personal brands, enabling them to capitalize on their popularity and contribute to the growth of the sport.
SACA values its current sponsors as they play a vital role in supporting our players’ well-being and performance. By providing comprehensive solutions to player-specific needs, they contribute to the overall success of our cricketers.
