On 9 October 2018, she was named in South Africa's squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament.[5][6] However, later that same day the International Cricket Council (ICC) deemed her bowling action to be illegal. Therefore, she was immediately suspended from bowling in international matches.[7] The following month, she was ruled out of the tournament and replaced by Yolani Fourie.[8]
