Titans WK Mangaliso Mosehle Testimony
ChristCentredCricketers would like to say a big thank you to Mangaliso for sharing a bit about his cricket experience and also how being born again has helped him cope with the pressure of professional cricket. "I realised that God has always been on my side".
Most embarrassing moment in cricket?
Most embarrassing moment would be when I got four ducks in a row. Two seasons ago.
If you weren’t a cricket player what would you be?
I love music. I wouldn't mind being in the music industry. But not as a singer haha. I also enjoy mentoring and motivational speaking. Those will be my two options after cricket.
Time your faith has mattered most?
I believe that the last 3 years after being born again; I realised that God has always been on my side. With my upbringing, to what I've accomplished now it can only be by the grace of the Father. None of this is through my owner doing, so I’ am forever grateful. Jesus is alive.
Finally what tips or encouragement can you give any Christian athlete?
The verse from ‘Philippians 4:12 has been a real encouragement to me’- “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want”.

Best cricket ground YOU'VE played at?
My favourite ground. Would be Ranchi, we played champions league two years ago. An unbelievable experience. And also enjoy Willomorepark my home ground I always seem to score runs there.
Favourite worship song?
I go through different phrases of favourite worship music. At the moment is has to be “am a lover of your presence" by Kim Walker Smith.
How does your faith influence you on the pitch?
Being in professional sports is hard and competitive. And I think as a disciple it's really about living the gospel. Romans 12 1-2 says we must offer our bodies as a living sacrifice. I believe the way we carry ourselves on the sports field is a form or worship.
