Career[]

On 5 August 2016, during a match against Ireland at the Anglesea Road Cricket Ground, she became the second player to score a half-century and take a five-for in a women's ODI, after Heather Knight, by scoring 52 runs and taking 6 wickets.[3][4][5]

She also equalled the record of Anisa Mohammed for picking up the most wickets in a single calendar year in women's ODI cricket, with 37 dismissals in 2016.[6] In 2016, along with Chloe Tryon, she set the record for the highest sixth-wicket partnership in a WODI, with 142 runs.[7]

In May 2017, she was named Women's Cricketer of the Year at Cricket South Africa's annual awards.[8] In March 2018, she was one of fourteen players to be awarded a national contract by Cricket South Africa ahead of the 2018–19 season.[9] In October 2018, she was named in South Africa's squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies.[10][11]

In November 2018, she was named in Brisbane Heat's squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[12][13] In September 2019, she was named in the M van der Merwe XI squad for the inaugural edition of the Women's T20 Super League in South Africa.[14][15] In January 2020, she was named in South Africa's squad for the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia.[16]

In January 2020, in the third WODI against New Zealand, Luus became the first bowler to take two six-wicket hauls in WODI cricket.[17] She took six wickets for 45 runs in ten overs, with South Africa winning the three-match series 3–0.[18] She was also named the player of the series.[19] On 23 July 2020, Luus was named in South Africa's 24-woman squad to begin training in Pretoria, ahead of their tour to England.[20]

In January 2021, in South Africa's series against Pakistan, Luus took her 100th wicket to become the tenth cricketer to score 1,000 runs and take 100 wickets in WODIs.[21]

In February 2022, she was named as the captain of South Africa's team for the 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand,[22] after regular captain Dane van Niekerk was ruled out of the tournament with a fractured ankle.[23]
