The Tuskers won all three Division Two competitions this season.

They won the CSA T20 Knockout, the One Day Cup and shared the Four-Day Series trophy with the Northern Cape Heat as the final was rained out last week.

KwaZulu-Natal Inland Chief Executive Jason Sathiaseelan told Independent Media that the reason behind their record-breaking season is in the recruitment process they followed ahead of the recently concluded season.

"We didn't just play in Division Two and gained promotion, we dominated Division Two. We got 40 promotion points, and the second team only had 20. That tells you just how well we did in Division Two," said Sathiaseelan.

"I think firstly, from the recruitment process, we were very careful in terms of identifying the skills we need for players that fit our profile.
