Let Dane van Niekerk play
Added 2023-02-02 10:18:03 +0000 UTCIt's a Daniel Norcross week on The Final Word, joining Geoff for Story Time and Adam for the weekly show as our protagonists get ready for India. By this time next week, all going well, they'll be together in Nagpur. In the meantime...
Season 13, Ep 21: An episode that finishes on a conversation about the mistreatment of South African skipper Dane van Niekerk, who is being excluded from the T20 World Cup on home soil on the basis of arbitrary long-distance running requirements that have little relationship to cricket. The repercussions could be incendiary for the women’s game in that country.
Staying in South Africa, the men's team pulled out a surprise ODI series win over England that makes their World Cup qualification safe. There are Big Bash finals, New Zealand and India T20s, and India won the first women's Under-19 World Cup.
