CRICKET South Africa has announced a 16-member squad for the upcoming home assignments against the White Ferns.
Laura Wolvaardt, who was named interim captain for the Pakistan and New Zealand tours, will maintain her leadership role during the upcoming home series.
South Africa will receive a significant boost with the return of their star all-rounder and vice-captain, Chloe Tyron, who had been granted a leave of absence and was subsequently unavailable during the ongoing Pakistan tour.

The rest of the squad is the same that is currently in Pakistan on a white-ball tour. The three-match ODI series will be a part of the ICC Women’s Championship 2022-25 cycle.
Clinton du Preez, Proteas Women Convenor of Selectors reflected on the importance of maintaining a consistent contingent.
“Maintaining squad consistency is key, to allow players to grow within the environment,” du Preez said. “We are very happy to have Chloé Tryon back within the space and excited to see how she will further improve the squad with her all-round qualities. We go into the New Zealand series on a high and we want to carry the momentum into the tour at home.
“It was always going to be very difficult to adapt to the conditions in Pakistan. However, I’m pleased with how the team competed in the T20Is, where they narrowly missed out on winning games. It remained small margins and one can see how the players have learned from their shortcomings and brought it into the ODI format. There are many positives, and one that stands out for me is the shared individual performances of the players.”

In the ongoing series in Pakistan, South Africa faced a setback in the three-match T20I series, losing by a 3-0 margin. However, they bounced back strongly in the ODI leg, securing an unassailable 2-0 lead. The final ODI is scheduled for 14 September.
Enoch Nkwe, the Director of Cricket at CSA, shared his thoughts on the performance of the team in Pakistan.
“We’re immensely proud of the remarkable progress the Proteas Women have made throughout their time in Pakistan, showcasing their elite temperament and talent following the challenging start to the tour,” he said.
“As we eagerly prepare to welcome the team back home, our hearts are filled with excitement as we anticipate the clash against New Zealand in the three ODIs, including the significant Black Day, and the five exhilarating T20Is.
“It’s a thrilling moment for South African cricket, and we can’t wait to witness our Proteas Women shine on home soil once again,” he added.
