Chloe Tryon returns to South Africa squad for T20I series in India

South Africa has named all-rounder Chloe Tryon in their squad for the upcoming T20I series against India. Tryon, who had been sidelined since April due to a back injury, has made a full recovery and is set to rejoin the team for the three-match series.

The T20Is will be held in Chennai on July 5, 7, and 9. The South African team is looking forward to seeing Tryon back in action. 

Interim head coach Dillon du Preez expressed his excitement, stating, "She [Tryon] brings a lot of experience to the team and we can't wait to see her back on the field."

After the one-off Test match in Chennai, Delmi Tucker and Nondumiso Shangase will be returning home. The Test, which South Africa lost by 10 wickets, was followed by a 3-0 defeat in the ODI series against India in Bengaluru. The T20I series presents an opportunity for the South African team to regroup and refine their strategies.

Clinton du Preez, the convenor of selectors for the South African women’s team, highlighted the importance of maintaining consistency and building team cohesion as they prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Bangladesh. 

"This approach allows us to refine our strategies and enhance team dynamics, which are crucial as we prepare for the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh. Our goal is to provide a platform for our players to gain valuable experience and showcase their skills, ensuring we are well-prepared for the challenges ahead. The return of Chloé Tryon is a significant addition, and we are confident that this squad will perform with the determination and excellence that defines Proteas Women cricket."

The South African team aims to use the T20I series to test different options and strengthen their lineup in preparation for the World Cup. The series against India is expected to be a crucial part of their final preparations for the global tournament.
