Born 30th November 1996 is the captain of the Rwanda T20 International team, Diane Bimenyimana.
Diane is a right-hand batter and medium pace bowler and usually fields at first slip for the team where she can be seen busily directing players and bowlers, sporting her trademark bu and cool shades. She is certainly a noticeable presence on the field.
One of the team’s top batters, Diane has scored one of the two centuries for Rwanda, along with Gisele Ishimwe, when she scored 114* against Mali on 21 Jun 2019 at Gahanga International Cricket Stadium, Kigali.
Diane doesn’t bowl as much as she used to, such is the talent in the team, but her medium pacers have taken 17 wickets at 14.64 and has a best of 3-8.
