Cricket South Africa (CSA) has now drafted a SA Emerging Women squad that is set to compete against Zimbabwe in a T20 series.
The tour is from 19-27 November as all the matches will be played at Harare. The team will be guided by head coach Dinesha Devnarain. The 15-player squad encompasses a mix of Proteas-capped players, along with talents from the CSA National Academy and SA U19 setups.
From the Hollywoodbets Dolphins camp, there are three players selected in the squad: Ayanda Hlubi, Seshnie Naidu and Nondumiso Shangase.
Clinton du Preez who is the Proteas Women Convenor of Selectors has made a conscious effort to get the tour going and highlights the main points.
“The focus around selection was to provide opportunity to our players who were involved in the national academy during the winter. This tour will reward the players with game time and address succession planning within the pipeline”, says Clinton.
