Abrahams Prepares Proteas Women For England Tour

WITH the England Womens inbound tour getting underway in East London next week, coach Baakier Abrahams is going into his fourth bilateral series in charge of the Proteas womens batting unit.

England Women will tour South Africa for a multi-format tour which includes three T20Is, three ODIs and a one-off Four-Day Test with the tour getting underway with the T20I series on Sunday, November 24 at Buffalo Park and concluding with the Test match from December 15 at Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein.

This will mark South Africas return to action since the disappointment of losing the T20 World Cup final to New Zealand Women in Dubai recently.

Having picked up the batting coach ropes in April when Sri Lanka Women toured South Africa, Abrahams feels he has come into a set-up that is filled with players who are hungry for knowledge and career growth.

Despite having been the Assistant coach of the Port Elizabeth based Warriors for various seasons and having never been a part of a professional womens team before, Abrahams feels that the character of the players in the Proteas Women team have made his transition seamless.
