Suné Luus will lead the Momentum Proteas in the four-match ODI series against the touring West Indies in the absence of injured captain Dané van Niekerk, while off-spinner Raisibe Ntozakhe makes her return to the international stage.
SA will host all four matches in a biosecure environment at the Wanderers, with the first ODI starting on Friday.
Van Niekerk will not only miss the West Indies tour but has also been ruled out for the Women’s Cricket World Cup to be hosted by New Zealand from March 4 to April 3. Even without Lee and Van Niekerk, SA still announced a strong squad of 18 players on Tuesday that includes experienced campaigners Ayabonga Khaka, Shabnim Ismail, Mignon du Preez, Marizanne Kapp and Laura Wolvaardt.
