The Cricket Australia national selection panel has named an unchanged squad for the upcoming women’s multi-format series against South Africa.
Australia will look to build on their tour of India where they managed to win both the ODI and T20I series.
The Test side will be named following the first ODI in early February.
“As was the case for our home series against the West Indies in October, Grace Harris is part of the squad for the T20s only and will be replaced by Alana King for the ODIs,” said CA’s Head of Performance (Women’s Cricket) and National Selector, Shawn Flegler as quoted by ICC.
“South Africa were formidable opponents in the 2023 ICC T20 World Cup Final in Cape Town and we look forward to the challenge of hosting the Proteas in a multi-format series in Australia.” added Shawn.
The series begins on January 27 with three T20Is.
