Wolvaardt’s message before India tour: tighten the screws now, peak later

South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt wants her side to treat the India T20 series as a high-intensity rehearsal, with sharper bowling plans and more clinical batting. With a World Cup on the horizon, the Proteas are chasing the kind of small gains—an extra 10–20 runs, a few fewer loose balls—that can flip knockout matches.
