Nonkululeko Mlaba’s journey began with a significant breakthrough in September 2019 when she earned a spot in South Africa’s squad for their series against India. Making her Women’s Twenty20 International (WT20I) debut against India later that month, Mlaba showcased her potential on the international stage. This marked the inception of a career filled with promise and propelled her towards greater heights.
In the following year, Mlaba’s star continued to rise as she gained attention for her consistent performances. Her inclusion in South Africa’s Women’s One Day International (WODI) squad for the series against New Zealand in January 2020 signalled her growing importance to the team. This was further underscored by her selection in the squad for the prestigious 2020 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in Australia, where she had the opportunity to showcase her skills on a global platform.
The year 2020 proved to be a turning point for Mlaba as she received the newcomer of the year award at Cricket South Africa’s annual ceremony in July. This recognition not only validated her hard work and dedication but also served as a testimony to her rapid progression in the sport. Subsequent milestones, including her WODI debut against Pakistan in January 2021 and her selection for the 2022 Women’s Cricket World Cup in New Zealand, solidified her status as a key player for South Africa.
