“This is a very exciting opportunity,” Kapp commented. “To play at Lord’s is every cricketer’s dream, and I am looking forward to stepping on to that field for the very first time.
“It is an honour to be considered to join the celebrations of this iconic ground and to be joined by some of the world’s best players. I’m looking forward to catching up with other players and also to playing a competitive and fun game,” she concluded.
