Women’s T20 WC: ‘Felt Like A Family Again,’ Says Ismail On Reversing Retirement And Returning To Proteas Setup
T20 World Cup: Pace spearhead Shabnim Ismail marked her return to South African colours with a match-winning performance and an emotional homecoming as the Proteas women defeated Australia by seven runs in an unofficial T20 warm-up fixture ahead of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.
The veteran fast bowler, who recently reversed her international retirement in a bid to help South Africa challenge for a maiden world title, claimed 4/39 to play a decisive role in defending 163 at Arundel Castle. Her victims included Australian power-hitters Ash Gardner and Grace Harris as South Africa successfully closed out a tense contest.
While the result provided an encouraging boost ahead of the tournament, Ismail revealed that her comeback began with a mixture of excitement and nerves.
