At the age of 54, Rhodes remains as committed to the game as he ever was. To him, the game of cricket transcends the exhilarating thrill of play. It offers an opportunity to create priceless memories and inspire a deep-seated affection for cricket in the upcoming generation of players.
Rhodes has been an ardent advocate of the Cape Town-based Cricket School of Excellence (CSE). The institution, led by Ryan Maron, has been instrumental in transforming cricket for players of all ages, genders, and skill levels. This year marks a significant milestone for CSE as it celebrates its 25th anniversary, a testament to its considerable contributions to the sport.
Rhodes’ relationship with Maron spans several years, with Rhodes expressing a profound sense of pride in Maron’s progression in changing lives through cricket. Maron, a former professional player himself, brings a diverse wealth of knowledge and experience to the game. His coaching career has seen him work with international teams such as the West Indies and Afghanistan. Despite the challenges, Maron’s journey has been incredibly fulfilling.
An aspect that fills both Rhodes and Maron with immense pride is their role in nurturing players who have gone on to make a mark in international cricket.

Recently, the programme provided an opportunity for fifteen young cricket enthusiasts to participate in the January Holiday Clinic hosted by CSE.
The 25th-anniversary celebration of the CSE is set to culminate on Friday, 12 January at the Gary Kirsten Oval in Claremont. The week-long cricket clinic coinciding with the celebration has involved nearly 200 children in a variety of cricket skills courses. Rhodes himself will be present at the event, demonstrating his cricket prowess and coaching the young participants, thereby inspiring the future generation of cricket stars.
The dedication of Rhodes and Maron to cricket extends far beyond the cricket field. Their fervor for establishing a solid foundation for the sport and fostering young talent has already begun to yield results. Their unwavering commitment ensures a promising future for cricket in South Africa and worldwide. However, their journey transcends cricket.
