The Women’s T20 Super League (WSL) will take place in Cape Town between December 12-16, Cricket South Africa (CSA) has said.
Returning for its fourth edition since the cancelation of strict Covid-19 regulations, the four-team tournament will see the SA U-19 women’s team taking part. The WSL will be jampacked with emerging talent across the country, including the Momentum Proteas players.
CSA chief executive, Pholetsi Moseki, said the timing of the WSL return is good, as women’s cricket in the country is taking centre stage.
“At a time when women’s cricket in South Africa is taking centre stage, the return of the WSL is exquisitely timed, as it brings together the best of the best this country has to offer, all in one central venue, as the national coaches and selectors begin to conclude their World Cup readiness,” said Moseki.
Senior cricket manager, Johan Weyers, emphasised the main objectives of the tournament, saying it is all about identifying new talent.
“The WSL is a platform from where the players can contest for higher honours. The main objective is to grow the talent base through deliberate efforts in identifying, nurturing, and managing the players,” Weyers said.
“More competitive cricket in the women’s game is needed to produce quality cricketers and to improve the pool of players for national team selection this year.”
The five-day tournament will be played at the Six Gun Grill Newlands Cricket Ground, and the confirmation of fixtures, participating players and coaches will be announced in due course.
