Star South African women's team player Marizanne Kapp is set to miss the T20I series vs England and return home due to personal reasons.


The all-rounder's partner Dane van Niekerk posted a message on Twitter that further clarified Kapp's reasons for returning home from the on-going tour.



Kapp's absence is another big blow to the Proteas side. Recently, pacer Tumi Sekhukhune also had to leave the tour after due to an injury. Both players' participation in the upcoming Commonwealth games 2022 is up in the air.
