The Belief Is Very Strong Going Into The Tournament, Says Laura Wolvaardt Heading Into World Cup
Cricket World Cup: South Africa's captain, Laura Wolvaardt, said that being entrusted with the responsibility to lead the national team in the Women’s Cricket World Cup is both an exciting challenge and an honour for her.
Expressing gratitude for being given the captaincy for the World Cup, Wolvaardt outlined the differences between leading in T20I and ODI cricket, noting how the 50-over format requires more tactical decisions.
“It’s so special to lead South Africa at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup. I captained at the Women’s T20 World Cup last year, but ODI cricket feels very different – there’s more pressure and many more tactical decisions to make. In T20s, once the powerplay is done, the game can be more straightforward but in ODIs, you constantly have to balance when to attack and when to defend. It’s a huge honour and an exciting challenge, and I’m very happy and grateful to lead this side,” Wolvaardt wrote in her column for the ICC.
