Annah Raisibe Ntozakhe (born 29 November 1996) is a South African cricketer.[1] She made her Women's One Day International (WODI) debut against India in the 2017 South Africa Quadrangular Series on 9 May 2017.[2] She made her Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) debut for South Africa Women against India on 13 February 2018.[3]

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.[4]

On 9 October 2018, she was named in South Africa's squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament.[5][6] However, later that same day the International Cricket Council (ICC) deemed her bowling action to be illegal. Therefore, she was immediately suspended from bowling in international matches.[7] The following month, she was ruled out of the tournament and replaced by Yolani Fourie.[8]

In September 2019, she was named in the F van der Merwe XI squad for the inaugural edition of the Women's T20 Super League in South Africa.[9][10] On 23 July 2020, Ntozakhe was named in South Africa's 24-woman squad to begin training in Pretoria, ahead of their tour to England.[11]

In February 2022, she was named as one of three reserves in South Africa's team for the 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand.[12]
