The North West Dragons Women’s trio of Masabata Klaas, Lizelle Lee and Tumi Sekhukhune was included in the 2020 T20 Women’s World Cup squad this week.
This is a massive achievement for these North West women, who will look to make their country proud at the World Cup in Australia, which begins on 21 February.
The Proteas Women will take on England, Thailand, Pakistan and West Indies in a tough group.
North West Dragons Women’s captain, Tazmin Brits, should feel unlucky to miss out on the tournament, after a good couple of months with the bat.
