The 15-player squad features 10 new faces, highlighting a strategic shift towards youth development and future competitiveness. Steve Mangongo, the technical director for the tour, emphasized the importance of exposing young talent to international cricket, particularly after the team's recent challenges in qualifying for the Women’s T20 World Cup.
