The South Africa girls’s cricket staff have given all-rounder Marizanne Kapp compassionate depart after her spouse Dane van Niekerk was dropped from the Women’s Twenty20 World Cup squad.
Hosts South Africa left common captain Van Niekerk out of the squad on Tuesday after the all-rounder failed to satisfy health necessities.
“The leave was granted so she can come back ready to play,” South Africa coach Hilton Moreeng advised the BBC.
“She needed a break for compassionate leave and it was granted to her because we felt we are very happy with the form she is in, as far as her skills are considered.”
Kapp is not going to play within the ultimate T20 of a triangular sequence in opposition to India.
“She (Kapp) is part of the World Cup she is committed to the World Cup cause,” Moreeng added.
South Africa start their marketing campaign in opposition to Sri Lanka in Cape Town on Feb. 10. New Zealand, Bangladesh and reigning champions Australia are the opposite groups in Group A.
