South Africa's Women Cricketers Honor Loved Ones

The South African women's cricket team will honor their loved ones by wearing customized jerseys during the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, with the names of up to five significant people embroidered inside their shirts. This initiative serves as a reminder of their support and connection to home while competing in the tournament. Captain Laura Wolvaardt expressed that carrying a piece of home provides her with strength, reinforcing the emotional bond with her family and friends. Wicketkeeper Sinalo Jafta highlighted the personal significance of the tribute, stating it motivates her to give her best on the field. The team aims to maintain a sense of purpose with the message 'Always Rising - For Me, For Her, For Them, For All, For South Africa, For The Proteas.' South Africa's first match will be against the West Indies in Dubai on October 6, 2024.
