SUNE Luus knows all about World Cup pressure, having been entrusted with the Proteas' captaincy on the eve of the last tournament after Dane van Niekerk suffered a freak accident.
SRI Lanka's Harshitha Samarawickrama, right, plays a shot during the 2025 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup ODI match against India at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati as India won by 59 runs (DLS) in the opener last night.

There was little time to dwell on the responsibility, and Luus simply had to lead a Proteas side packed with senior players such as Shabnim Ismail, Marizanne Kapp, Mignon du Preez, Trisha Chetty, Masabata Klaas and Lizelle Lee.
Having made her debut as a 16-year-old in 2012, Luus commanded the respect of her peers and guided the Proteas to consecutive semifinal appearances against England. The all-rounder developed into the role superbly, her measured leadership style complementing Van Niekerk's more combative approach.
