Nayma Shaikh of East Kilbride Cricket Club has flown out to South Africa with the Scotland squad for the U19 Women’s T20 World Cup – and she will create a little bit of history in the process this weekend.
The team are competing in the inaugural event and they will become the first-ever Scottish women’s side to take part in a World Cup event.
Sixteen-year-old Nayma is the daughter of senior cricketer Moon Mughis Shaikh and her proud mum is bursting with joy after watching Namya set off for the big occasion last week.
