Titans Cricket CEO Dr. Jacques Faul expressed his pride in the Union’s achievements:
“This AGM marks a moment of great pride for all of us at Titans Cricket.

We are grateful to every sponsor, partner, and individual who played a role in this milestone year.”
Looking ahead, Faul also shared exciting developments for the home of the Sky Blues.
