South Africa ki women’s cricket team West Indies jaa rahi hai ek important white-ball tour ke liye jo 11 June 2025 se start hoga. Is tour mein 3 ODI aur 3 T20I honge, sab matches Barbados ke Three Ws Oval mein kheley jaayenge. Ye tour unke liye bahut important hai kyunki ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 (India mein hone wala) ke liye final tayari ka time hai.
Team Mein Wapas Aayi Kuch Key Players
Marizanne Kapp wapas aa gayi hai team mein. Ye player ek dum all-rounder hai – ball bhi daalti hai aur achha maar bhi sakti hai. Pichle kuch time se rest pe thi, lekin ab ready hai action ke liye. Coach Mandla Mashimbyi bhi bol rahe hai ki Kapp ka return team ko fresh energy dega.
Tumi Sekhukhune aur Ayanda Hlubi – dono fast bowlers bhi team mein laut aaye hai. Sekhukhune consistency ke liye famous hai aur Hlubi fast pace se impact daalti hai. In dono ke aane se ab South Africa ke paas 7 pace bowlers ho gaye hai – matlab pace bowling attack full set hai Caribbean ke liye.
Lara Goodall Ko Drop Karne Par Charcha
Lara Goodall ko squad se bahar kar diya gaya hai, jabki Anneke Bosch abhi bhi available nahi hai. Goodall ne pichhle series mein decent perform kiya tha, aur uska test recall bhi hua tha England ke against. Isliye log surprise ho gaye ki usko kyun drop kiya gaya. Lagta hai selectors naye combinations try karna chahte hai, jaise Miané Smit ko T20I debut dena, ya fir top-order mein Laura Wolvaardt, Tazmin Brits aur Sune Luus pe zyada bharosa hai.
Anneke Bosch Ka Missing Hona
Anneke Bosch abhi bhi available nahi hai aur reason clear nahi hai. Ye all-rounder middle-order batting aur off-spin dono karti thi, toh unka na hona ek loss hai. Lekin shayad selectors ko lagta hai Kapp aur baaki seamers us gap ko fill kar denge.
Squad Ka Jalwa
Captain Laura Wolvaardt ki leadership mein team ek mix hai seniors aur juniors ka. Full squad mein ye players hai:
Laura Wolvaardt (capt), Tazmin Brits, Nadine de Klerk, Annerie Dercksen, Ayanda Hlubi, Sinalo Jafta (wk), Marizanne Kapp, Ayabonga Khaka, Masabata Klaas, Suné Luus, Karabo Meso (wk), Nonkululeko Mlaba, Tumi Sekhukhune, Nondumiso Shangase, Miané Smit, Chloé Tryon.
Miané Smit ka T20I debut bhi ek badi baat hai. Tryon bhi solid form mein hai aur unka presence all-round department ko aur strong banata hai.
Coach Ka Vision
Coach Mashimbyi bol rahe hai ki Sri Lanka tour mein bahut seekhne ko mila, aur ab West Indies tour mein un gaps ko fill karna hai. Ye tour World Cup se pehle last few chances hai combinations test karne ke liye.
Kya Strategy Hai?
West Indies tour ek testing ground ban gaya hai team ke liye. Experienced players jaise Kapp balance laayeinge, aur young talent jaise Hlubi aur Smit future ka signal hai. Goodall ka drop hona ye dikhata hai ki selectors thoda bold decisions le rahe hai.
Barbados ke pitches pace-friendly hoti hai, toh South Africa ka strong seam attack kaafi useful ho sakta hai. West Indies ki team inconsistent hai, lekin ghar pe strong hoti hai, especially T20s mein.
Ant Mein…
Proteas women ka ye tour World Cup preparation ka ek major step hai. Kapp, Sekhukhune, aur Hlubi ka comeback team ko strength deta hai. Lara Goodall ka na hona aur Bosch ki absence ke bawajood team solid lag rahi hai. Ab dekhna hoga ki Caribbean mein ye squad kaise perform karta hai aur World Cup ke liye kaise shape leta hai.
