The South African women’s cricket team’s Australia tour has now reached its final stage. Let us tell you that after the ODI and T20 series, now the only Test match between the two teams is being played at WACA, Perth from 15th February.

Let us tell you that Australian women’s team’s veteran player Megan Schutt is not taking part in this match. However, despite not playing in the match, he did something which went viral on social media.

Let us tell you that in order to protect the young cricketers from the sun in the match, she was seen shading the players with towels in the dugout near the boundary line, so that the young players do not face much trouble from the sun.

It is noteworthy that Perth’s WACA stadium comes first among the hottest stadiums in Australia. Perhaps this was a major reason why Megan Schutt was seen shadowing the young players.
