Proteas Women head coach Mandla Mashimbyi elaborated on the objectives of the training camp. 'We'll focus a lot on running between the wicket, playing a rotational game, and building on that through scenario-based matches, which will help improve awareness,' he was quoted in by CSA.
'There will also be nets for skill development, and there'll also be a lot of education around team culture. We're trying to focus on a holistic player from a culture point of view, skill point of view, and mindset point of view.'
On the newcomers in the squad, Mashimbyi added, "I'm looking forward to seeing these youngsters in our environment, and I'm pretty sure that the rest of the team will look after them and make them feel like they belong because this is the future of Proteas Women cricket.
'It's important that we make them feel at home first, and then after that, we encourage them to be themselves, and if there are opportunities for them to play, they can make a big impact for us and themselves as cricketers.'

The 35-year-old left-arm spinner, who was named Player of the Match after grabbing five for 33, overtook Kuldeep Yadav and Maheesh Theekshana to the top spot, which he had earlier held briefly in November and December 2023. West Indies fast bowler Jayden Seales was another one to make huge inroads in the ODI Bowling Rankings after his superb haul of six for 18 in the final ODI of their three-match series against Pakistan, moving up 15 spots to 18th position. Pakistan leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed (up 15 places to joint-39th) and West Indies off-spinner Roston Chase (up five places to 58th) are others to move up the list. In the Men's ODI Batting Rankings, West Indies captain Shai Hope is up two places to ninth position after scoring 120 not out in the final ODI against Pakistan while Aiden Markram (up four places to 21st), Temba Bavuma (up five places to 23rd) and Mitchell Marsh (up six places to 48th) are the others to progress. In the Men's T20I Rankings, South Africa's Dewald Brevis continues his upward movement, gaining nine spots to reach 12th position while Australians Marsh and Glenn Maxwell have progressed four and 10 spots, respectively, to reach 25th and 30th positions. The T20I Bowling Rankings see Australia seamers Nathan Ellis (up three places to ninth position) and Josh Hazlewood (up two places to 18th) make significant gains, with South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada moving up from 44th to 37th position.
