A proud history, a bright future
Despite being a fully amateur club, Pirates has and still attracts big name cricketers to don the Skull and Crossbones. Over the years, we have been represented by internationals such as Steven Jack, Clive Eksteen, Mark Rushmere, Sylvester Clarke (West Indies), Grant Elliott (New Zealand) and Matthew Hoggard (England) among others.

A leader in on the field ability (we are the only Gauteng non-tertiary club to have won National Club Championships), our section is a leader off the field too. Pirates were the first cricket club in South Africa to elect a lady chairperson, and for 22 years now have successfully run a development cricket section borne out of the original homeless cricket initiative which focused on using cricket to provide inner city kids from Johannesburg meals and a positive sporting experience.
