Brave sign Rodrigues and Wolvaardt for 2026 Hundred
- Published
Southern Brave have signed World Cup winner Jemimah Rodrigues and South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt for the 2026 season.
The two batters are a coup for Brave, who topped the league phase in 2025 and fell short in the final against Northern Superchargers.
Rodrigues, 25, hit a stunning century in India's shock World Cup semi-final victory over Australia and has previously played in the competition for Superchargers.
Wolvaardt is the top-ranked one-day batter in the women's game and scored the most runs in the World Cup (571).
She stays with Brave after scoring 181 runs last summer following her move from Manchester Originals.
The signings complete Brave's business before the auction, with England stars Lauren Bell and Maia Bouchier also secured.
Brave have also signed Australia all-rounder Marcus Stoinis and South Africa big-hitter Tristan Stubbs for their men's team.
