It's The Biggest Man in Cricket's one year birthday, and to celebrate we have invited cricketing royalty to our Bootleggers studio! From making her international debut for South Africa while still at school, to becoming one of the most dominant batters in world cricket, Laura Wolvaardt’s journey has been extraordinary.

She also opens up on life as a global franchise cricketer, with experiences in the WPL in India, the Big Bash in Australia and The Hundred in the UK. With the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in England fast approaching, Wolvaardt discusses belief, leadership and South Africa’s ambitions of finally going one step further on the world stage.
