Suné Luus will commander South Africa at the Women's World Cup with Chloe Tryon as her appointee. The 15-player bunch incorporates every one of the customary names who have performed responsibility north of quite a while, with the main eminent truant being Dané van Niekerk, who was precluded with a lower leg break. Luus has driven in van Niekerk's nonattendance previously and is right now accountable for the group in their series against West Indies.

The remainder of the crew separated from Lizelle Lee have all carried out responsibility in the continuous series against West Indies, and are regulars on the worldwide stage. Lee was governed out of those matches as she recuperated from Covid-19 and has been passed fit to join the crew and travel to New Zealand. That implies South Africa's crew is loaded up with experience. Mignon du Preez, Trisha Chetty, Marizanne Kapp and Shabnim Ismail all have in excess of 100 ODI covers to their names while Lee (93) and Luus (91) could arrive at that achievement at the World Cup. Tryon has 82 ODI covers, while Laura Wolvaardt and Ayabonga Khaka, their driving run-scorer and wicket-taker in the continuous series against West Indies, have each played more than 50 matches.

South Africa, alongside Australia, England and India, were programmed qualifiers to the World Cup subsequent to beating New Zealand in New Zealand in mid 2020.

They have won their last four series and are among the top picks for the forthcoming competition.

"The crew was not simply united over the most recent couple of months, it's a cycle that we initiated in 2017 and we recognized specific regions that we expected to fortify. There were key choices made through different camps and visits that we've had and played preceding this," Clinton du Preez, the ladies' convenor of selectors, said. "In 2020, when we went to New Zealand, we secured the ODI series and from that point that just established the vibe for us to proceed to push on for the ODI World Cup and I think it is vital that all the difficult work has been placed in, including the choices for the playing conditions that we see ourselves confronting. Our group is prepared to contend, and our group is all set farther than only the semi-last billet and proceed to attempt to secure the World Cup."

South Africa have another serious match before they leave for New Zealand, which will be played on Sunday against West Indies. The installation is a decider, with the series locked at 1-all after the main game was cleaned out. Luus said the conditions, which have been overwhelmed by wet climate, have been hard to score openly in, and have inclined toward more slow bowling, are ideal groundwork for New Zealand. "I realize there is a ton of downpour in New Zealand in many spots where we are going so I think this is what is going on for us," she said. "I don't figure we can improve readiness. The harder it gets for us the more straightforward it will conceivably be the point at which we get to New Zealand."

South Africa's first match of the Women's World Cup is against Bangladesh on March 4.
