Young wicketkeeper Karabo Meso and spin-bowling allrounders Seshnie Naidu and Miane Smit have earned maiden ODI call-ups for South Africa Women's tri-series in Sri Lanka that will have India as the third team.

Meanwhile, Marizanne Kapp has been rested as she "continues her conditioning block in preparation for the subsequent tours and the World Cup in India", a CSA release stated.

Naidu and Meso featured in this year's Under-19 T20 World Cup, where South Africa lost to India in the final. They have also represented South Africa in T20Is - Naidu three times and Meso twice. Smit was a travelling reserve at last year's T20 World Cup in the UAE. That apart, Nondumiso Shangase has also returned to the side for the first time since South Africa's tour to India in June last year.

Seamer Ayanda Hlubi, wicketkeeper Mieke de Ridder and opener Lara Goodall have been left out.

"It's a very good squad," head coach Mandla Mashimbyi said. "The mixture of youth and experience helps. It's an opportunity for these girls to show what they can do. Hopefully, whatever we've covered at the camp can be applied in Sri Lanka when we take the field.
