The Cricket Australia National Selection Panel has selected an unchanged squad for the upcoming women's multi-format series against South Africa.

The Test side will be named following the first ODI in early February.

Australian captain Meg Lanning and her team celebrated in style as they lifted the trophy at Newlands in Cape Town after beating South Africa in the final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.
“As was the case for our home series against the West Indies in October, Grace Harris is part of the squad for the T20s only and will be replaced by Alana King for the ODIs," said CA’s Head of Performance (Women’s Cricket) and National Selector, Shawn Flegler.
“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 multi-format series in Australia."
The series begins on January 27 with three T20Is.
