| | For South Africa Captain of Rugby Captain of Cricket |
 | | On the cricket field, where he was a fine wicket keeper, but a nervous starter when batting, Castens claim to fame is that in 1894 he captained the first South African cricket team on a tour overseas, which was to the United Kingdom. |
 | | Moving on now, to Castens cricket career, and in particular to the 1894 tour of the United Kingdom, it is apparent that he did not enjoy the same success, both as a player and captain of the side, as that which he achieved on the rugby field. |
 | | When he retired from active sport he turned to the administrative side of cricket and he was involved in the purchase of ground at Newlands which, to this day, is still the venue of all major cricket matches in Cape Town. |
