Australia have named their 15-player squad for the upcoming multi-format series against South Africa Women, commencing with the T20I series from January 27. Australia’s squad remains unchanged from their India tour where they emerged victories by securing series wins in both T20Is and ODIs. 

Grace Harris is only the part of the T20I series as she will be replaced by Alana King in the ODIs. Their squad for the Test side will be announced following the first ODIs. Both Australia and South Africa will be playing three-match T20I and three-match ODI series and would end the multi-format series with the only Test. 

“South Africa were formidable opponents in the 2023 ICC T20 World Cup final in Cape Town and we look forward to the challenge of hosting the proteas in a multi-format series in Australia,” selector Shawn Flegler said. 

“The squads for the upcoming T20s and ODIs are very similar to the one that travelled to India recently.”

Australia squad (T20Is and ODIs only): Alyssa Healy (c), Darcie Brown, Heather Graham, Ashleigh Gardner, Kim Garth, Grace Harris, Jess Jonassen, Alana King*, Phoebe Litchfield, Tahlia McGrath (vc), Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham
