Cricket South Africa: Pace-bowling all-rounder Annerie Dercksen earned her first South Africa women’s national contract. The inclusion of Annerie, 23, in the 15-member contracted players list announced by Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Monday comes at the expense of Lara Goodall and Delmi Tucker.

Annerie made her T20I debut in 2023, but it was in 2024, where she established herself in the Proteas team, including making her Test and ODI debuts. In 17 T20Is, she made 161 runs and picked five wickets, while her returns in four ODIs were 70 runs and six wickets, apart from 60 runs in two Tests.

Annerie was a part of South Africa becoming runners-up in the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup and later took home the ICC Emerging Women’s Cricketer of the Year award for the same year.
