The North West Dragons have officially announced their traveling squad for the upcoming 4-Day Series encounter against WSB Western Province, and all eyes are now on Cape Town, where the team will aim to build on their strong start to the red-ball season. With momentum on their side and energy levels high, the Dragons are ready to face one of their biggest challenges yet.

🚆 Heading to the Mother City with Purpose

The squad departs for Cape Town with clear intentions: to continue their winning run in the 2025/26 Cricket South Africa 4-Day Domestic Series. The Dragons have shown great composure and team chemistry early in the campaign, with key players stepping up in big moments, and this match presents yet another opportunity to solidify their standing in the tournament.

Their opponents, Western Province, are traditionally tough competitors on home soil, but the Dragons are no strangers to pressure. With a dynamic mix of experience and rising talent, this squad is more than capable of delivering the goods.

🧢 Squad Selection: Who’s In?

While the full squad list has not been published in the announcement, fans can expect the inclusion of standout performers such as:

Meeka-Eel Prince, fresh off a historic maiden First-Class century at JB Marks Oval, scoring an unbeaten 102 off 190 balls*, a performance that showcased his technical skill and temperament.
Senuran Muthusamy and Heino Kuhn, known for their calm heads and vital contributions with both bat and ball.
Kerwin Mungroo and Caleb Seleka, likely to spearhead the bowling attack with pace and precision.

This balance of form players and leaders provides the Dragons with the right mix to take on the Cape Town side with confidence.

🔥 Confidence Fuelled by Momentum

The Dragons have already sent a strong message with their recent performances at JB Marks Oval, where they dominated with both bat and ball. The team’s unity and fighting spirit have been key to their early success, and those same qualities will be needed on the road.

Fans will also remember the Dragons’ explosive start to the campaign, where their bowlers delivered tight spells and their batting unit consistently racked up competitive totals. The traveling squad is likely to keep the core intact while making tactical adjustments to suit Newlands' conditions.

📍 The Challenge at Newlands

The iconic Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town presents unique challenges, from the bounce and pace of the wicket to the swirling winds that can test even the most experienced campaigners. But for the Dragons, this is also a chance to prove they can thrive anywhere, against any opposition. Their recent form suggests they are more than up to the task.

🗣️Eyes on the Prize

Head Coach and support staff have been instrumental in building a focused and motivated unit, and this trip to Cape Town is being approached with both humility and hunger. While Western Province will enjoy home advantage, the Dragons are bringing fire, belief, and the backing of a loyal fanbase.

Supporters can follow live updates and highlights via the Dragons’ official social media pages, and no doubt, Potchefstroom and beyond will be cheering them on.

Let’s bring it home, Dragons! 🔥🐉🏆
