We’re thrilled to welcome Raisibe Ntozakhe from Gauteng as the newest addition to this illustrious list of players.
“This is set to be an incredibly busy and challenging season for our women’s national team,” shares Corrie van Zyl, CSA’s General Manager: Cricket. “With a home series against Bangladesh in May, followed by tours to England and the West Indies, and then the ICC Women’s World T20 in the West Indies this November, capped off by a home series against Sri Lanka, the road ahead is thrilling.”
