Luus led the side during South Africa's brilliant run to the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023 Final on home soil, where the Proteas lost to Australia.

South Africa will announce a new captain soon ahead of the Pakistan tour which will consist of three T20Is and three ODIs. The ODIs will be a part of the ICC Women's Championship 2022-25 cycle.

The squad bears a similar resemblance, with 12 of the 15 players who were a part of their memorable T20 World Cup campaign retained.

Match highlights as Meg Lanning’s Australia beat South Africa in an entertaining final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 in Cape Town.

One big absence will be Chloe Tryon, who has requested a leave of absence. Annerie Dercksen will also miss the series as she recovers from her finger injury.

Wicketkeeper Mieke de Ridder has been handed a call-up and could be in line to make her international debut. All-rounder Nondumiso Shangase, who last featured for South Africa in 2021, is also included in the squad.

All the matches of the series will be played in Karachi, with the T20Is being played between September 1 to 5. This will be followed by the ODI series between September 8 to 14.
