Shabnim Ismail Returns As South Africa Name Squad For Women’s T20 WC 2026
T20 World Cup: Veteran fast bowler Shabnim Ismail has reversed her retirement and returned to the South African women’s side as the Proteas announced their 15-member squad for the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, scheduled to be held in England and Wales from June 12 to July 5.
The 37-year-old, who last represented South Africa in the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup final in Cape Town, adds vast experience to the Laura Wolvaardt-led squad with 113 T20I appearances and a national record 123 wickets to her name.
South Africa have also welcomed back experienced all-rounders Marizanne Kapp and Dané van Niekerk after recovering from illness and a calf injury, respectively, while wicketkeeper-batter Karabo Meso returns from the wrist injury that ruled her out of the recent T20I series against India.
