"The core of the squad has remained together post the World Cup and we have a few additions to ensure that we address certain shortcomings in the squad," Clinton du Preez, CSA's convenor of selectors for the women's team, said in a statement."This is also an opportunity for players like Mieke de Ridder to come in and cover the area of wicket-keeper on the back of a great season provincially and also through the winter at the CSA National Academy.

"Nondumiso is also returning on the back of a good season after being out of the squad for a while and is now an option when going to the subcontinent, where the additional spinner adds balance to the squad, which is what we require."
