The National Selection Panel has named Thunder star Phoebe Litchfield in a 15-player Australian squad for the T20I and ODI components of the upcoming women’s CommBank multi-format series against South Africa.
Australia plays three T20 international matches in late January, before a trio of One-Day international fixtures in early February, concluding with a Test match in mid-February.

Litchfield has experienced a stellar start to the new year, clinching the Player of the Series accolade in the Australian Women’s sides’ recent ODI series clean-sweep against India, after amassing 260 runs across three innings at an outstanding average of 86.67, including a memorable match-winning century in the series finale.
The squad for the Test Match at the WACA Ground will be selected following the first ODI.
All matches will be broadcast on Seven, Fox Cricket, Kayo Sports and ABC Radio.
