South Africa have named their squad for the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup in England, headlined by the return of veteran fast bowler Shabnim Ismail from retirement. The 37-year-old, the nation's all-time leading wicket-taker in the format, is joined by fellow retiree Dane van Niekerk and recovering bowler Marizanne Kapp.

This squad features three players who reversed recent retirements, adding immense experience to a team that finished runner-up at the last two T20 World Cups. Their inclusion follows a morale-boosting 4-1 series victory over the reigning 50-over world champions, India, showcasing the squad's current formidable form.

Head coach Mandla Mashimbyi praised Ismail's return, highlighting her enduring hunger to help the team achieve something special. With a challenging group including Australia, India, and Pakistan, this veteran-laden squad aims to finally break their title drought on the global stage.
