All-rounder Chloe Tryon on Monday was named in South Africa's squad for the T20I series in India.

Tryon has successfully recovered from a back injury that had kept her out of action since April this year.

Delmi Tucker and Nondumiso Shangase will go back home after the one-off Test in Chennai.

"She [Tryon] brings a lot of experience to the team and we can't wait to see her back on the field," SA women interim head coach Dillon du Preez said. "We have our last three T20I matches against India. This will give us some time to look at one or two options before we go home and start our final preparation for the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh."

Clinton du Preez, the SA women convenor of selectors, said that "maintaining consistency" was the key factor while selecting the squad since they want to build on their strengths and cohesion.

"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."

South Africa will take part in three T20Is against India in Chennai on July 5, 7 and 9. They went down in the ODI series 3-0 in Bengaluru and lost the one-off Test in Chennai by 10 wickets.
