While Momentum confirmed on Tuesday that they would no longer provide sponsorship to Cricket South Africa from April 2021 onwards, they remain committed to the Proteas Women.

The financial organisation became the headline sponsor of Dane van Niekerk's charges in February this year.

Carel Bosman, head of sponsorship at Momentum said the organisation was extremely proud of the role they've played in supporting the advancement of women's cricket.

"We have been extraordinarily proud of our role in supporting the advancement of the women’s team and remain committed to that sponsorship agreement. Our continued support of the Momentum Proteas is in line with our brand narrative and we will continue to shine a light on their talent, build their commercial value and enable them on their journey to success,” said Bosman.

The Proteas' last international involvement before the coronavirus pandemic saw them lose a closely fought semi-final against Australia at the T20 World Cup in March.

Many of the stars of the side, including the likes of van Niekerk, Laura Wolvaardt and Marizanne Kapp will play in the upcoming Big Bash League in Australia in October.

Porsche includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto with classic radio system

Porsche's provided the modern solution for classic cars for years now, but Apple CarPlay is on board, and a two-DIN version even supports Android Auto.

Porsche Classic radio system with Apple CarPlay — Supercool.

Really, there's nothing like driving a vintage car. It's a totally different animal from today's vehicles, but if there's one comfort that's sometimes hard to give up, it's modern infotainment. Features like Bluetooth streaming and Apple CarPlay make listening to music a breeze. Now, smartphone-mirroring tech is even coming to vintage radio offerings from Porsche.

Porsche Classic's Communication Management system is essentially a retro-looking radio with modern amenities. For years, it's allowed owners of vintage Porsche cars to put navigation and audio streaming in their vehicles. The latest iteration adds Apple CarPlay for iPhone users to make it even more usable.

The traditional unit still sports a 3.5-inch display and slots perfectly into the dashboard of Porsche cars with a one-DIN layout. Whether it's the first 911 models, or one of the final air-cooled 911s from the 1990s, this will work. Front- and mid-engined cars from the brand may also use this unit. It looks wonderful with cleanly displayed buttons, two knobs and the tiny screen right in the middle.

For 911 and Boxster models built in the later 1990s, owners could specify the cars with a two-DIN layout, which Porsche has an option for these days, too. The Porsche Classic Communication Management-Plus system is an even more modern take on infotainment, with a 7-inch screen complete with the same functions, including Apple CarPlay. While the unit provides more screen, it's also designed to blend in with the buttons surrounding the unit, such as the HVAC controls. Oh, and the two-DIN unit also supports Android Auto.

Porsche in September delivered official prices for the US after the head units launched in Europe first. The single-din unit costs $1,300, while the double-din unit will set you back $1,475.
