Aimee Maguire returns to the Ireland squad for the upcoming women's six-match white-ball series, which takes place from 5-19 December in South Africa.
The 19-year old spinner is back in the senior set-up for the first time since receiving ICC clearance for her remodelled bowling action.
Maguire was suspended from international cricket back in February, however, she was cleared to resume in August.
The left-arm orthodox spinner has taken 25 wickets in 20 matches, across all formats, with a best of 5-19 against England.
Seam bowling all-rounder Georgina Dempsey has also returned after a lengthy injury lay-off. Dempsey last appeared for Ireland in January, however, missing most of the home domestic season with injury.
The average age of the squad is just over 24 years, however, the squad have an increasing wealth of experience to draw on - four of the squad have over 100 caps across formats (Laura Delany, Gaby Lewis, Orla Prendergast, Leah Paul) and two more (Cara Murray, Any Hunter) may reach three figures on the tour.
This will be the first time the two sides have met since 2022 when South Africa toured Ireland. During the 33 matches between the two teams, Ireland have only won three times.
