By AFP News February 03, 2023 • 14:08 PM View: 3356

Once upon a time, cricket was seen as a universal game. Not just in its appeal to a global audience but for the fact that individuals of any shape, size, colour, creed or class could play alongside each other.

With the news that Dane van Niekerk, one of the best players in the women's game, has been left out of South Africa's Twenty20 World Cup squad on fitness grounds alone, this age-old perception may just have landed in the trashcan.
