Australia Confirms T20I and ODI Squads for South Africa Series

The Cricket Australia national selection panel has announced an unchanged squad for the upcoming women’s multi-format series against South Africa.

The Test side for the series will be revealed after the first ODI in early February. Grace Harris is designated for the T20s only, with Alana King stepping in for the ODIs, following a similar pattern observed during the home series against the West Indies in October.
