Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>South Africa\u2019s women\u2019s cricket team will face a test on and off the field when they travel to India next month with management and players under scrutiny.<\/p>\n

The Proteas women will play one Test, three ODIs and three T20 Internationals as part of a three-week tour which will see Dillon du Preez occupy the head coach position for the first time.<\/p>\n

For now his position is temporary, with Cricket SA assessing him and the rest of the management staff before the T20 World Cup in September. \u201cThis [is] a great opportunity for the [new management team] to find their feet before we come back and start our preparation for the World Cup,\u201d said Du Preez.<\/p>\n

He was appointed earlier this month after Hilton Moreeng, who had been the side\u2019s head coach for more than a decade, chose not to accept another short-term contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe key for us is to assess the conditions as soon as possible, be calm under pressure and try to play key moments in the game better than the opposition. We know a series against India in India will be tough,\u2019 said Du Preez.<\/p>\n

Cricket SA announced a squad for the Test match and the ODIs, with the T20 group to be announced later during the tour.<\/p>\n

The team will be led by Laura Wolvaardt and includes two uncapped players, wicketkeeper\/batter Mieke de Ridder and all-rounder Annerie Dercksen. Top order batter Tasmin Brits, who recently signed for the Central Gauteng Lions, will have her fitness assessed after undergoing knee surgery.<\/p>\n

Lara Goodall, Chloe Tryon and Ayanda Hlubi were left out of the tour party because of injury. The team will depart for India on June 8 and start the tour with a One-Day warm-up match in Bengaluru. The ODI series which follows will take place at the Chinnaswamy Stadium and forms part of the ICC Women\u2019s Championship series, which will determine automatic qualifiers for the 2025 ODI Women\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n

The Proteas are third in that competition, with the top five teams all earning a spot in the World Cup to be hosted in India.<\/p>\n

The one-off Test, which will be South Africa’s second one this year, will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai from June 28.<\/p>\n
