Teenager Karabo Meso makes South Africa's Women's World Cup squad, Laura Wolvaardt to lead

South Africa announced a 15-strong squad for the upcoming Women's World Cup on Wednesday, September 3, with opening batter Laura Wolvaardt continuing to lead the side, with a fine mix of youth and experience. The 17-year-old wicketkeeper-batter Karabo Meso has earned a call-up for her first major tournament, having played a couple of ODIs as well as five T20Is for the senior team. Meso represented the junior women's at the U19 T20 World Cups in 2023 and 2025.
