Proteas all-rounder hoping to follow in Kapp's footsteps
With veteran all-rounder Marizanne Kapp rested for the ongoing tri-series in Sri Lanka, Annerie Dercksen is soaking in the added responsibility for the Proteas Women.
Dercksen, who was named as the ICC Women's Emerging Cricketer of the Year for 2024, opened up on comparisons with Kapp.
'Yeah, I've been compared to Kappie a lot and I'm really not sure why. She's in a class of her own and someone I really look up to and I see it as a big honour,' Dercksen told reporters.
'I've got four ODI caps, so at the moment I'm looking to learn and experience as much as I possibly can, soaking in all the situations and knowledge from all the players around me.' WATCH: Annerie Dercksen wins Emerging Women's Cricketer of the Year | ICC Awards 2024
