Andrie Steyn is looking forward to making her tournament debut at the 2017 Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup which gets underway in England and Wales this month.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old opening batter announced her arrival on the international scene at the recently concluded Quadrangular Series which also involved Ireland, Zimbabwe and heavyweights India.<\/p>\n

Steyn who worked extensively with Gary Kirsten Cricket\u2019s Head Coach, Ryan Cook before the series scored a mammoth 226 runs at an average of 45.2 over the five games in Potchefstroom.<\/p>\n

It was a groundbreaking series for the Durban born youngster who put together a sparkling 117 against Ireland for her maiden century.<\/p>\n

In addition she also scored a brilliant 83 against a top Indian bowling attacking.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hundred was really special as it was my first. It was also a bit of a relief to finally get there,\u201d Steyn said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did feel though that my 83 was just as important. It was a challenging knock and one that I am proud of,\u201d Steyn added.<\/p>\n

According to Steyn her work with Cook prior to the series was invaluable.<\/p>\n

\u201cRyan helped with my batting skills and mental side of the game. We worked on efficient training so your body reacts in the correct way,\u201d Steyn explained.<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cWe also focused on batting for longer periods of time and that paid off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cook who is currently working as a fielding coach for the SA A team ahead of their tour to England was full of praise for Steyn.<\/p>\n

“Working with Andrie has been very rewarding, she is a willing learner and her humble nature has helped grow and improve her game,” Cook said.<\/p>\n

The runs came at the perfect time for Steyn who now shifts her focus to the World Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a dream come true for me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we have a great bunch of players. We just have to keep believing. We must back ourselves, we know we have a good chance of winning it,\u201d Steyn concluded<\/p>\n
