Hansie Cronje steps down as Free State skipper
28 June 1996
South African captain Hansie Cronje became the latest to feel the
pressures of a hectic international schedule, when he stepped
down as captain of the Free State side.
''Last season, I felt out of touch with Free State cricket,''
Cronje explained, after putting in his papers. ''When I came
back from international duty, I found it difficult to take
part in selecting the Free State side as I had no idea who was
in form.''
Cronje, who has led the provincial side for seven years and, in
that time, won seven tournaments, will now yield place to Free
State middle order batsman Louis Wilkinson.
