The consequence of Dane van Niekerk's omission from South Africa's T20 World Cup squad has now started to surface as prolific Proteas all-rounder Marizanne Kapp has withdrawn herself from the tri-series finale against India on 2nd February.
van Niekerk was left out of the squad after she failed to clear the 2 Km fitness test despite previously given repetitive warnings. Her void is going to create a massive hole in the side which even if they try, won't be possible to fill up.
Kapp, a veteran of 88 T20Is has publicly expressed her disappointment over Dane's dropping who happens to be her partner too. However, despite being unavailable for the game against India will return for the mega-event slated to begin on 10th February.
Hilton Moreeng, head coach of South Africa women's teams said
"Marizanne Kapp has taken leave and will not feature in the tri-series final against India tomorrow. She will be back for the Women's T20 World Cup."
South Africa are being led by Sune Luus have been doing well in the ongoing series as the side have won two of their three completed matches.
They announced their World Cup squad yesterday with women's selection convener Clinton du Preez saying,
"It's about remaining consistent with our decisions. Many other players have gone down this route. Everyone is quite familiar with the situation and what is required. In December, we set it out clearly with where she needs to be."
