Pakistan have named their squads for both the T20I and ODI series for their upcoming tour of South Africa, confirming that Fatima Sana will continue to lead the team in both formats. Pakistan Women have brought in a fresh phase of rebuilding by naming uncapped batter Saira Jabeen and fast bowler Humna Bilal in their T20I squad. 

Fast bowler Humna Bilal has earned her maiden international call-up after consistent performances in domestic cricket. Saira Jabeen has been named in the T20I squad, riding on her success in domestic cricket.
