Mashimbyi Calls For Bravery Under Pressure In Proteas Women Squad

LATE last year, Mandla Mashimbyi was appointed as head coach of the Proteas Women's team after a successful stint as head coach of the Titans Division One.

Since his announcement, the 44-year-old has only observed from afar as Proteas Women hosted England Women in South Africa for a multi-format tour this past festive season.

Last week, Mashimbyi had his first session with the team when Cricket South Africa assembled the squad for a week-long training camp at the Centre of Excellence in Pretoria from 17 to 21 February 2025.

There, Mashimbyi highlighted his plans for the team and his philosophy as the side builds toward the 2025 ICC Women's ODI World Cup in India later this year.

The former fast bowler outlined 'bravery under pressure' as one of the key traits he will be looking for in his players.
