Profile
A leg-spinner by trade, who can double up as a reliable lower-order batter, Sune Luus has made quite an impact in South Africa's recent rise in stature. She made her debut as a 16-year-old against Bangladesh back in 2012.

2016 proved to be a breakthrough year in her career - when she became only the second woman cricketer to have taken a fifer an scored a half-century in the same match after Heather Knight - achieving the feat against Ireland. She further went on to pick 37 wickets in the year, equalling the record for the most wickets in a calendar year with Anisa Mohammed. She capped it off with the highest sixth-wicket stand of 142 runs with Chloe Tryon.

It came as no surprise, when in 2017, she was named the South African cricketer of the year, with a central contract to boast of for 2018.
