The Proteas women have announced a squad of 17 for their upcoming tour of India that will get under way on 7 March.

Hilton Moreeng’s charges will take on India in five ODIs and three T20Is after arriving in the subcontinent over the weekend.

All matches are set to be held in the city of Lucknow in Northern India with a strict bio-secure environment created for the encounters.

The South Africans have named an unchanged unit to the one that did duty against the Pakistan Women in Durban earlier this year.

All-rounders Chloe Tryon and Dane van Niekerk will miss the series due to injuries, while Masabata Klaas has sustained an eleventh-hour injury that will also see her miss out.

‘It is really exciting to finally have this tour confirmed and announce our squad that will do duty here in India, and we are looking forward to getting out there to see our ladies prove themselves under different playing conditions,’ said Moreeng.

The Momentum Proteas squad: Sune Luus, Ayabonga Khaka, Shabnim Ismail, Laura Wolvaardt, Trisha Chetty, Sinalo Jafta, Tasmin Britz, Marizanne Kapp, Nondumiso Shangase, Lizelle Lee, Anneke Bosch, Faye Tunniclife, Nonkululeko Mlaba, Mignon du Preez, Nadine de Klerk, Lara Goodall, Tumi Sekhukhune.
