The story
From a first practice to the world stage — in fourteen months.
Delinda Lottering picked up an indoor cricket bat for the first time fourteen months ago. This week, she wears the green and gold against the best U15 girls on the planet — alongside eleven teammates who've each fought for the same shirt.
This is the kind of story South African sport produces over and over again. Talent finds its way through the cracks. Coaches give up evenings. Parents drive across provinces. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, a kid earns a Protea cap.
Now they're on the floor at a home World Series.
