Buffalo Park in East London will host one of three Proteas Women T20 internationals against England when their multi-format tour of SA gets underway later this month.
Cricket South Africa said the T20I series opener will be played on Sunday 24 November, while Willowmore Park and Centurion will host the remaining two matches.
The One Day International matches between England and South Africa take place in Kimberley, Durban and Potchefstroom, between the 4 and 11 December.
"The Proteas will also play England in a historic Test match at the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein between 15 - 18 December, the first Women's Test held in South Africa since 19 March 2002.
"The squad for this landmark Test will be announced in due course during the white-ball series," CSA said in a statement on Monday.
The T20I squad comprises 14 players, with three additions from the team that reached the final of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024.
All-rounders Eliz-Mari Marx and Nondumiso Shangase join the group alongside World Sports Betting Western Province batter Faye Tunnicliffe, who makes her return to the national squad for the first time since 2021.
This trio will be in for Marizanne Kapp and Ayabonga Khaka, who are rested for this series, as well as wicket-keeper batter Mieke de Ridder.
Meanwhile, bowler Seshnie Naidu will focus on her academic commitments as she completes her matric exams while aiming to represent the SA U19s at the ICC U19 Women's T20 World Cup in Malaysia in January next year.
Interim head coach Dillon du Preez commented: “Everyone is looking forward to the multi-format series against England, and we know it's not going to be an easy one. It's always a tough series against them.
"We know that we need to make sure that our planning is spot on and so far it's been interesting."
