It’s official - fiery fast bowler Shabnim Ismail is set for a sensational return to international cricket.
The 37-year-old has been named in the South Africa women’s squad for the upcoming ICC Women's T20 World Cup in England and Wales, and her inclusion will undoubtedly add serious firepower to the side.
Ismail’s last appearance for South Africa came in the final of the Women's T20 World Cup, when the Proteas went down by 19 runs to Australia at Newlands in Cape Town.
Proteas coach Mandla Mashimbyi told OFM Sport that he is thrilled to have Ismail’s energy and experience back in the side.
