Luuus focused as Proteas Women eye England clash

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.
