Nondumiso Shangase

Nondumiso Shangase is a batting allrounder who came up through the KwaZulu-Natal pathway system, making her way into the senior side within two years after a stint with the Under-19s, and also taking up captaincy duties for them. While there, she carried her bat in an innings while compiling a gritty century, which caught the eye of the selectors and brought her into the national side.

By 2019, Shangase had made her white-ball debuts for South Africa, but she has been in and out of the side since then. The highlight of her international career has been the unbeaten half-century she made in June 2025, playing against West Indies. It guided South Africa to a total of 309, and they went on to level the series at the end of it. She also took three wickets for 20 in Durban in a T20I against Pakistan, though South Africa lost that rain-affected game by eight runs.

While her numbers aren't anything to crow about, Shangase has an affinity for big-hitting and is usually miserly with the ball, all good qualities to have.
