The South African Women's Pro 20 side will be getting some much needed international game time ahead of the, ICC World Twenty20 World Cup in June. The Proteas travel to Ireland where they will play the home nation along with Pakistan in a tri-series in preparation for the tournament in England.
International time in the middle was one of their main concerns after their poor showing at the World Cup in Australia earlier this year as the team only won one game.
Co! ach Noor Rhode says the series will give them some insight on the team before the competition.
"It gives is an opportunity to look at our combinations and how we want to play the game. T20 is something that is new so all the team are on the same level. It's a learning curve and we want to make the most of this chance."
Only one change has been made to the side that went to the World Cup. Kwa-Zulu Natal's Deneisha Devnarain comes into the squad as she replaces Claire Terreblanche.
Rhode says he has faith in his players but the only way they can improve is by playing more cricket.
"I believe the players have the skills and will do a great job for South Africa. It's just that we need more opportunities and more cricket to enhance those skills which then will allow us to perform better."
