Andrew Mansale, wearing jersey number 17, is one of the most experienced and respected figures in Vanuatu cricket. A consistent right-handed batsman and inspirational leader, Mansale has captained the national team in multiple ICC tournaments, guiding the team through a golden era of associate-level success. Known for his calm demeanor and sound technique, Mansale has anchored numerous innings for Vanuatu, often holding the top order together in pressure situations. His half-century against Germany in the ICC World Cricket League Division 6 was a standout performance that demonstrated his composure and tactical acumen. As a batter, he values timing over power, and his ability to rotate strike ensures momentum in the middle overs. Although not a frontline bowler, Mansale occasionally contributes with part-time spin and has chipped in with crucial wickets during low-scoring games. However, it is his captaincy and field positioning instincts that have earned widespread praise. Off the field, Mansale plays an active role in cricket development in Vanuatu. He is deeply involved in coaching, mentoring, and promoting the sport in rural areas. His influence on younger players, including Nalin Nipiko and Patrick Matautaava, has helped build a strong foundation for the team’s future.
