Cricket South Africa (CSA) has announced the Proteas Women’s squads for the upcoming T20 International (T20I) and ICC Women’s Championship (IWC) One-Day International (ODI) series against England, set to take place from November 24 to December 11, 2024. The series will be hosted across six South African cities: East London, Benoni, Tshwane, Kimberley, Durban and Potchefstroom.

Laura Wolvaardt to lead South Africa in both formats

Laura Wolvaardt will lead both the ODI and T20I squads, reflecting her growing stature within South African cricket. Having proven herself as a capable leader and an accomplished batter, Wolvaardt’s captaincy will be key as the Proteas look to challenge a formidable England side. Joining her in both squads are seasoned players such as Suné Luus, Chloé Tryon and Nonkululeko Mlaba, who bring valuable experience and versatility to the team.

The ODI squad features key players like Marizanne Kapp, an all-rounder whose ability with both bat and ball is expected to be a game-changer. Ayabonga Khaka and Masabata Klaas will spearhead the bowling attack, providing stability and expertise in crucial match situations. Also included is wicketkeeper-batter Sinalo Jafta, whose agility behind the stumps will be pivotal.
