Moreeng not happy with Proteas' horror England tour, but takes 'a lot of positives'

While is not happy with the team's overall performance during their England tour, Proteas coach Hilton Moreeng feels there are a lot of positives ahead of this week's Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

Women's cricket will make its Commonwealth Games debut in Birmingham and the women-only T20 event will have eight teams competing at the iconic Edgbaston.

"For us, it's to make sure that each and every game is a
