South Africa have named their squad for the upcoming women’s three-match T20I series against India. Allrounder Chloe Tryon has been included in the squad as she has been absent since April this year due to a back injury. The three-match series will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai and will serve as a fitting platform ahead of the T20I World Cup. The allrounders Delmi Tucker and Nondumiso Shangane will be returning home after the One-Off Test match. Three T20Is will be played on 5, 7 and 9 July respectively. 

“We’re excited with the 15-player squad that has been selected for the T20I series. We also have Chloe back in the team after recovering from an injury. She brings a lot of experience to the team and we can’t wait to see her back on the field,” Proteas women interim head coach, Dillon du Preez said.

“We have our last three T20I matches against India. This will give us some time to look at one or two options before we go home and start our final preparation for the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh,” he added.

“In selecting the squad for the upcoming T20I series against India, we focused on maintaining consistency, keeping a largely similar group to build on our strengths and cohesion. This approach allows us to refine our strategies and enhance team dynamics, which are crucial as we prepare for the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh,” Proteas women Convenor of Selectors, Clinton du Preez said.

South Africa women squad - Laura Wolvaardt (c), Anneke Bosch, Tazmin Brits, Nadine de Klerk, Annerie Dercksen, Mieke de Ridder, Sinalo Jafta, Marizanne Kapp, Ayabonga Khaka, Masabata Klaas, Suné Luus, Eliz-Mari Marx, Nonkululeko Mlaba, Tumi Sekhukhune, Chloé Tryon
