Veteran fast bowler Shabnim Ismail and former captain and all-rounder Dan van Niekerk have been picked as members of the Proteas womens cricket squad for the T20 World Cup in England and Wales from 12 June to 5 July.
Ismail, 37, retired from international cricket following the World Cup in South Africa in 2023, but is back in the mix for the upcoming tournament. She has been playing in T20 leagues around the world.
Former skipper Van Niekerk, who came out of retirement a few months ago after watching from the sidelines for the last three years, returns to fulfil an all-rounder role in the middle order.
