Nonkululeko Mlaba's rise has been quick. Before turning 25, she had already become South Africa's premier spin bowler, and had crossed the landmark of 100 international wickets.
Her ten-for in a Test against England in Bloemfontein in December 2024 was the first for a South Africa woman, and added to her reputation of being a wicket-taker, whatever the format, whatever the stage of the game.
Mlaba delivered her T20I career-best performance at the 2024 World Cup, with figures of 4 for 29 against West Indies. Her haul of 12 wickets at 11.33 in the tournament - she was the second-highest wicket-taker overall - was crucial to her side's run to the final.
As the best spinners do, she does not lose her calm in high-pressure phases of the game. With many years left in the tank, Mlaba's accuracy and discipline might be the glue that bridges the current South Africa bowling line-up with the next lot, whenever the time for that comes.
