    Published on

    Three Proteas players have been ruled out of the women’s T20 competition at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

    Experienced wicketkeeper Trisha Chetty (back) and right-arm seamer Tumi Sekhukhune (groin) are injured, while all-rounder Marizanne Kapp will remain at home in Gqeberha for family reasons that had her miss the recent T20I series against England.

    They will be replaced by all-rounder Delmi Tucker and top-order batter Tazmin Brits, who are already with the squad.

    Sune Luus’ team will begin their T20 campaign on Saturday with a match against New Zealand, before taking on England and Sri Lanka.

    Proteas Women: Sune Luus (c, Titans), Chloe Tryon (v-c, KZN Coastal), Anneke Bosch (Dragons), Tazmin Brits (Dragons), Nadine de Klerk (Western Province), Mignon du Preez (Titans), Lara Goodall (Western Province), Shabnim Ismail (KZN Coastal), Sinalo Jafta (Western Province), Ayabonga Khaka (Lions), Masabata Klaas (Dragons), Nonkululeko Mlaba (KZN Coastal), Delmi Tucker (Western Province), Laura Wolvaardt (Western Province).
