South Africa's Laura Wolvaardt Demands More Red-ball Matches In Women's Cricket
Cricket South Africa: Ahead of the one-off Test against India in Chennai, South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt has urged for more Tests in the women's cricket calendar and the inclusion of red-ball tournaments in Proteas' domestic structure.
Wolvaardt cited a lack of preparations for the Test matches due to a handful of red-ball games throughout the season. South Africa faced a 3-0 clean sweep in the ODI series against India in Bengaluru.
"It's obviously a challenge for most of us to have any sort of preparation in the format. Just coming straight into an international multi-day game is difficult. For example, balls that I've been cover-driving my whole life, I now need to leave, which is difficult for me because it just happens on instinct and I have to fight the way that I've been batting for my entire career," Wolvaardt said on the eve of the match.
