After their tour of Jamaica got cancelled at the last minute due to the Covid-19 cases in the Caribbean, Netball SA arranged matches for the Proteas against Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The Proteas won their five matches on tour in style and Badenhorst praised her players for their consistency and dedication. She said they used the tour as part of their preparations for the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, next year.“Thank you to Wales for the physical and hard game they gave us. It was great to be on the court to play against a tough and competitive opponent. The game allowed us to try different combinations and test ourselves. "The defence did well and handled the pressure. I was happy with the attack. We worked hard to keep up with the possession, losses and conversion rates.
“They play together in the UK national league and you could see how they combined against us. The more we play together, the better we will become. The main aim of the tour was to see which players can cope under different and difficult circumstances out of their comfort zone. “It was hard for them mentally with all the Covid-19 testing, and it played a role. We worked on the team culture and communication. The players coped with different personalities in the team. It was a great bonding session for the girls and they now know each other well and have respect for each other,” she said. Proteas 96, Ireland 8; Proteas 101, Northern Ireland 7; Proteas 125, Ireland 43; Proteas 60, Scotland 37; Proteas 60, Wales 38.

PODCAST | Cricket SA struggles to defend compulsory take the knee policyCSA’s Lawson Naidoo admits to Eusebius McKaiser that the directive was taken without consulting Proteas players Well then this is a management fail and the CSA should be doing an internal investigation and chopping heads where necessary. Look at what you guys did? This can not be how top management does things guys. Voetsek, sit down, why must it be defended, is it not a common cause? Promoting the BLM “brand” that has been created does nothing to help anyone in real-life, it's just used for empty publicity and politics. The founders of the BLM org in the USA used donated money meant to help African Americans and bought millions of dollars worth of property.
