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.'
