The South Africa and India Women’s Teams are due to arrive in Sri Lanka on April 23 Wednesday for the 6-match Tri Series ODI Tournament 2025 hosted by Sri Lanka with the tournament set to commence on April 27 at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium with all matches to be played at the same venue with the final on May 11.
Hosting such a Tri Series tournament will be historic for Sri Lanka which is hosting such a mega women’s event for the first time.
Meanwhile, South Africa have made a late adjustment to their squad for the upcoming Women’s ODI tri-series in Sri Lanka, after a batting all-rounder was ruled out due to illness.
31-year-old Anneke Bosch has been ruled out of the Proteas Women’s upcoming ODI tri-series against Sri Lanka and India, with top-order batter Lara Goodall set to take her spot in the squad.
The change sees the batter brought in as cover ahead of the team’s departure to Colombo on Tuesday, 22 April.
Skipper Laura Wolvaardt will lead a blend of experience and uncapped talent, with the likes of Chloé Tryon, Ayabonga Khaka, Suné Luus, and Nonkululeko Mlaba forming the core of the squad.
India will be led by Harmanpreet Kaur who will be coming out having been rested in their last ODI series against Ireland earlier this year.
