​​Stellenbosch University and Paul Roos Gymnasium have signed an agreement to develop a self-sustaining indoor cricket facility on the school's property, facing the main cricket oval. SU will furthermore develop a multi-purpose sports field on a designated portion of its property adjacent to the new indoor facility.

“Funding from Remgro, SU and Paul Roos Gymnasium made this agreement possible, and construction of the new facility to the value of almost R15 million commenced early in 2021. SU is excited about the role this facility will play to raise the quality of cricket training in Stellenbosch", said Prof Stan du Plessis, SU's Chief Operations Officer. The facility will be used by all parties involved.

Andre van Staden, the rector of Paul Roos Gymnasium, said he is excited that they will be able to develop this indoor cricket facility, which will add a lot of value to the school's cricket programme. “We are looking forward to working in partnership with SU to create a new facility which students and the broader Stellenbosch community can utilise."​
