CAPE TOWN - Cricket SA Director of Cricket Graeme Smith has admitted that Proteas' Women's captain Dane van Niekerk long-term fitness issues is"disappointing".

However, Van Niekerk's injuries are becoming a concern though after she was also ruled out in February 2019 for three months due to a stress fracture of the right femur. She also sat out six weeks in 2017 with a foot injury, returning just before the last 50-overs World Cup in England where the all-rounder led the team to the semi-final.

"I think it is something that is a focus because if you look at the stats in terms of the last 30-odd games she hasn't been available as much as we would like."We are currently involved in contract discussions with both men and women, in terms of the ladies and their PDP's , so these things will form part of these discussions. But ultimately you want your best players available more often than not and it has been a disappointing element that she has been injured a lot.
