Experienced all-rounder Marizanne Kapp has made a return to South Africa's squad set to embark on a tour to the West Indies for three ODIs and as many T2OIs from June 11-23. All six matches will be played at the Three Ws Oval in Barbados.

Marizanne had missed South Africa’s 50-over tri-series in Sri Lanka, where India emerged as the winner, due to her following a structured conditioning block. With that completed, she is now back to play for South Africa.

Apart from her, seamers Tumi Sekhukhune and Ayanda Hlubi also make a return to the team, with spinner Seshnie Naidu and left-handed batter Lara Goodall left out. All rounder Miane Smit also earns an opportunity to make her T201 debut after recently entering the ODI format.
