South Africa Women will be yet again led by bowling all-rounder Sune Luus against Indian Women as Dane van Niekerk and Chloe Tryon have not yet recovered from their injuries.

Sune Luus successfully led the Proteas Women at home in a three-match T20I series and an equally-long ODI series last month against Pakistan. They won the ODI series 3-0 and the T20I series 2-1. She would like to continue this form against India on her second India tour as captain.

Hilton Moreeng, South Africa Women's coach, told Cricbuzz, "It is really exciting to finally have this tour confirmed and announce our squad that will do duty here in India, and we are looking forward to getting out there to see our ladies prove themselves under different playing conditions."

"India is always a wonderful place to tour and we are looking forward to the challenge that lies ahead," he added.

Sune Luus has captained the Proteas Women for 3 ODIs and 4 T20Is. The team has won just one T20I losing all other games under her. Coming off a successful series against Pakistan, she will be hoping for a turnaround this time over.

From the squad that played against Pakistan, only pacer Masabata Klaas is set to miss out against India with an injury at the eleventh hour.

South Africa Women Squad:
Sune Luus (c), Ayabonga Khaka, Shabnim Ismail, Laura Wolvaardt, Trisha Chetty, Sinalo Jafta, Tasmin Britz, Marizanne Kapp, Nondumiso Shangase, Lizelle Lee, Anneke Bosch, Faye Tunniclife, Nonkululeko Mlaba, Mignon du Preez, Nadine de Klerk, Lara Goodall and Tumi Sekhukhune.
