'Words Can't Describe What It Feels Like To Wear The Protea Badge Again,' Says Ismail On WC Call
T20 World Cup: Shabnim Ismail says wearing the Protea badge again feels like an “honour” after the veteran fast bowler made a stunning return to South Africa’s squad for the upcoming ICC Women's T20 World Cup nearly three years after announcing her retirement from international cricket.
Emotions came flooding back for the 37-year-old pace icon and South Africa’s leading wicket-taker in both the ODIs and T20Is, who was granted her recall as the Proteas prepare for another shot at lifting their maiden ICC crown after finishing as runners-up in the 2023 and 2024 Women’s T20 World Cups and 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup.
“I don't think words can actually describe what it feels like to wear the Protea badge again and play for your country and millions of people are actually watching you,” Ismail said.
