Opener laura wolvaardt

South Africa T20I Squad: Opener Laura Wolvaardt has been appointed as South Africa’s full-time captain for all formats, and her reign will start from the T20I series against Bangladesh happening next month, said Cricket South Africa (CSA).

Laura takes over the leadership role in full-time capacity after serving as interim captain during South Africa’s recent tours against Pakistan and New Zealand where she led from the front with the bat, helping her team to clinch back-to-back 2-1 ODI series victories.

Laura, 24, has already appeared in 86 ODIs, making 3,421 runs with 30 fifties and four hundreds in the 50-over format, in addition to 1,313 runs at an average of 32.82 with nine half-centuries in 59 T20Is.
