Cricket South Africa announced a 16-player squad for the Proteas Women's tour to India on Friday.
The India tour comprises three ICC Women's Championships, ODI, and a test match between the 16 of June and 1 July in Bengaluru and Chennai.
Head coach Dillon du Preez said the squad for the three-match T20 international series taking place from 5 to 9 July, will be confirmed during the tour.
According to CSA, the squad features the return of Hollywoodbets Dolphins all-rounder Nondumiso Shangase, who rejoins the national team for the first time since the Bangladesh tour in December last year.
Additionally, wicket-keeper Mieke de Ridder from the Six Gun Grill Garden Route Badgers also returns after missing the recent tour against Sri Lanka due to a hand injury.
Batter Tazmin Brits, has also been named in the squad as she nears full recovery from knee surgery in mid-April. Brits will undergo a fitness test before the team departs, to determine the extent of her participation in the tour.
"The key for us would be to assess the conditions as soon as possible, be calm under pressure, and try and play key moments in the game better than the opposition. We all know a series against India in India will always be tough," says du Preez.
