# Cricket: Proteas Women’s captain Laura Wolvaardt believes the participation of veterans Shabnim Ismael and Dané van Niekerk will strengthen the team in the T20 World Cup, starting in England and Wales on Friday. They reversed their earlier retirements, but Wolvaardt says they had been active all the time and will help South Africa go one step further after reaching the finals of the past three white-ball World Cups. The Proteas face Australia, Pakistan, India and the Netherlands in their group matches.
