Saira Jabeen, Humna Bilal get maiden T20I call-ups

Uncapped batter Saira Jabeen and right-arm fast bowler Humna Bilal have earned maiden T20I call-ups as Pakistan announced the white-ball squads for the tour of South Africa. Fatima Sana will continue to captain Pakistan in both formats as the team builds towards the ICC Women's T20I World Cup in June.

Aliya Riaz, Ayesha Zafar, Gull Feroza, Muneeba Ali, Nashra Sundhu, Natalia Parvaiz, Rameen Shamim, Sadia Iqbal, Sidra Amin and Tasmia Rubab have been named in both ODI and T20I squads.

Diana Baig, Najiha Alvi, Sadaf Shamas and Syeda Aroob Shah are part of the ODI squad only, while Humna Bilal, Saira Jabeen, Tuba Hassan and Eyman Fatima feature exclusively in the T20I squad.

Ayesha, Gull, Tasmia and wicketkeeper-batter Najiha Alvi make a return to the ODI squad after missing out on selection for the ODI World Cup.

A pre-series training camp will be held at the Hanif Mohammad High Performance Centre in Karachi from 1 to 6 February.

The T20I series will be played in Potchefstroom, Benoni and Kimberley from 10 to 16 February, with all matches scheduled as day-night fixtures. Pakistan will then play a 50-over warm-up match in Kimberley before the three-match ODI series, which will be held in Bloemfontein, Centurion and Durban from 22 February to 1 March.
