Tazmin Brits, the star batter for South Africa’s women, is going through a difficult time in her personal life. As the 33-year-old was preparing for the vital T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates, her mother’s breast cancer was discovered. The South Africa opener has committed to taking part in the event and wants to remain “moving” despite personal struggles.
Brits has a history of fighting. She was a javelin thrower before having a car accident that altered her life’s path. The right-handed batter changed her profession to cricket, and she is really grateful for the support the game gave her in overcoming her weaknesses.
Just two weeks ago, my mother received a breast cancer diagnosis. The struggle never stops. But I know how to deal with it now. I now see that you must continue to move. You will be engulfed by the world if you remain stationary. British players stated, as cited by the official ICC Women’s T20 World Cup website, “You’ve got to keep moving.”
A World Cup victory can undoubtedly transform our country: Tazmin Brits
October 3rd is when the Women’s T20 World Cup, which is entering its ninth edition, will kick off. There has never been a T20 World Cup victory for South Africa. Australia defeated them in the previous season even though they made it to the final. Brits who cast doubt on her team’s chances of winning the trophy promised to have the trophy engraved in the event that Proteas prevailed in the World Cup.

“I can’t go around with half a tattoo, so we better win. Winning the World Cup will mean a great deal to our nation. Actually, thinking about it gives me a little shivers. It can undoubtedly transform our country,” she continued.
