Mignon du Preez (born 13 June 1989) is a South African cricketer, who was the women's team captain in all 3 forms of cricket Test, ODI and Twenty20 from 2007 to 2018. A right-handed batsman and occasional wicket-keeper, du Preez made her debut for the South Africa national women's cricket team in January 2007, aged seventeen.[1] Besides being the South African player with most matches as captain in both ODI[2] and Twenty20,[3] she is also the highest run-scorer for South Africa women in Twenty20[4] and the second highest in ODI.[5]
On 21 February 2016, she became the first South African women to score 1,000 career runs in T20I during a match against England.[6] On 21 June 2016, she decided to step down as South Africa women's captain, after having led the team for almost 5 years (since 2011) in one Test, 46 ODIs and 50 T20Is.[7][8]
On 25 June 2017, in South Africa's match against Pakistan in the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup, she became the first woman for South Africa to play in 100 ODI matches.[9]
In March 2018, she was one of fourteen players to be awarded a national contract by Cricket South Africa ahead of the 2018–19 season.[10] In October 2018, she was named in South Africa's squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies.[11][12]
Education
She is studying towards a marketing degree at the University of Pretoria.[13]
