From the wild to the World Cup: Proteas Women ready for ultimate test

The Proteas women's team are currently in the Kruger National Park for a team-building exercise ahead of the World Cup in Australia.

Veteran fast bowler Shabnim Ismail and former captain Dané van Niekerk have both come out of retirement recently and will join a squad that has reached the last three major ICC tournament finals - including successive ICC T20 Women's World Cup finals.

After spending some time in the wild getting reacquainted, Wolvaardt is hoping that the duo's combined experience of 204 T20 Internationals, along with the exuberance of youngsters Kayla Reyneke and Karabo Meso, will be the formula to take the Proteas to the promised land at the third attempt.
