Africa games

ICC U19 Women: Ahead of making her second appearance in the ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup, South Africa wicketkeeper-batter Karabo Meso said she is committed to helping those young players who’ve been in her position previously to come good in the tournament.

Karabo, who has two senior women’s T20I appearances, is one of the seven South African players set to take part in the ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup for the second time, when it begins on January 18 in Malaysia. South Africa are in Group C alongside New Zealand, Nigeria and Samoa.

“I never thought of being a senior player. I’m going to help everyone who is in the same shoes I was in, at their first World Cup. We won’t be hard on them, because it’s their first and our second. We’re just going to tell them what I was told in 2023, just do your best,” said Karabo in a statement issued by the ICC on Monday.
