Mignon du Preez (born 13 June 1989) is a former South African cricketer, who was the women's team captain in all three forms of cricket, Test matches, ODIs and T20Is, from 2007 to 2018. A right-handed batter and occasional wicket-keeper, du Preez made her debut for the South Africa national women's cricket team in January 2007, aged seventeen.[1][2] Besides being the South African player with most matches as captain in both ODIs[3] and T20Is,[4] she is the highest run-scorer for South Africa women in ODIs and T20Is.[5][6] In April 2022, du Preez announced her retirement from Test and ODI cricket, allowing her to focus on the shorter format of the game and spend more time with her family.[7] In December 2022, she further announced her retirement from T20Is, but confirmed her continued availability for domestic T20 leagues.[8]
