Kapp given time off after partner’s omission

SA have given Marizanne Kapp ‘compassionate leave’ after her wife Dane van Niekerk was left out of the country's Women's T20 World Cup squad. Van Niekerk was omitted for February's tournament, which SA is hosting, as she failed ‘to meet the minimum criteria for fitness’. Kapp will miss the final T20 of a triangular series against India.
