Cri-Zelda Brits

Cri-Zelda Brits, also written Crizelda Brits and Cri-zelda Brits is a South African cricketer. A right-handed batter and right-arm medium-fast bowler, Brits was originally called up to the South Africa national women's cricket team as an opening bowler in 2002. She developed into an all-rounder, and since 2005 has established herself as a specialist batter. She captained South Africa in 23 matches in 2007 and 2008, but was replaced as captain in 2009 in order to "concentrate entirely on her own performance." She was reappointed as captain for the 2010 ICC Women's World Twenty20. Between 2007 and 2011 she captained South Africa a total of 36 times.
