Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwanda’s Henriette Ishimwe has been nominated for the International Cricket Council (ICC) player of the month for March after her outstanding performance in the NCF Invitational Women T20I tournament.<\/p>\n

The budding Rwandan female cricket star is competing with Papua New Guinea pair of Ravina Oa and Sibona Jimmy for the converted award.<\/p>\n

Ishimwe, 19, is nearing her 50th T20 Cricket Cup for Rwanda and she is among the rising young female cricket players in East Africa currently.<\/p>\n

She was among the top performers in the just-concluded T20 Nigeria Women Cricket Invitational Tournament in Lagos where she helped Rwanda to reach the final.<\/p>\n

The teenager had 4\/4 to reduce Ghana to just 41 in Rwanda ‘s opening game and continued with a star output against Cameroon with a 33-ball 43.<\/p>\n

The youngster followed it up with her maiden T20I five-wicket haul and her best bowling figures (5\/6) in the shortest format.<\/p>\n

Ishimwe who has already had international exposure was among the two cricketers from Africa chosen for the Fairbank Invitational Cricket Tournament in Dubai in 2022.<\/p>\n

She was also key as Rwanda reached the Super Six of the U19 Cricket Female World Cup in South Africa in January, 2023.<\/p>\n
