Proteas Batsmen Urged to Support Wolvaardt
9 Jun
Summary
- All-rounder Marizanne Kapp wants the batting unit to share scoring responsibility.
- Captain Laura Wolvaardt is the third-ranked T20 batter globally.
- Captains converged on London's Waterloo Bridge for a promotional event.
Proteas all-rounder Marizanne Kapp has called for the team's batting unit to shoulder more responsibility, aiming to ease the pressure on captain Laura Wolvaardt. Wolvaardt, currently ranked third in the world for T20 batting, has been instrumental in South Africa's progression to three consecutive major ICC tournament finals. Kapp acknowledged Wolvaardt's consistent performance on big stages but stressed the importance of increased contributions from the entire team.
In a significant promotional event, Wolvaardt joined other team captains on London's Waterloo Bridge. This landmark was transformed into a cricket pitch for the first time, creating a striking visual ahead of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup's opening match on June 12. The captains participated in various cricket challenges and fan interactions above the River Thames.
The Proteas are preparing for their final warm-up match against New Zealand in Loughborough before commencing their World Cup campaign against Australia in Manchester.
