Wolvaardt led from the front as South Africa reached the final of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 and the South Africa skipper has been named the ICC Women’s Player of the Month for October 2025 for her exceptional leadership and outstanding performances with the bat.
Wolvaardt played eight ODIs in October at the Women’s World Cup, amassing 470 runs at an stunning average of 67.14 and an impressive strike rate of 97.91.
The right-hander said it was a great thrill to claim the monthly award for October.
“It’s an honour to win this award following the team’s World Cup performances in India, as part of a historic event for women’s cricket. The tournament featured outstanding matches and remarkable displays, which makes this recognition especially meaningful,” she said.
“While winning the tournament would have been ideal, we take pride in our victories and the unbreakable spirit we showed, while remaining confident that an ICC World Cup title is within reach.
“I appreciate everyone’s support, and I will always strive to make you proud on the field.”
