“We are at a crucial juncture as we prepare for this big event and again, we want to thank CWI for organizing this camp, the T20Is and the CG Insurance ODI Series to get the girls up to speed.

“We were fantastic against Pakistan last month and we want to bring that winning momentum into this series of matches as well.

“We are going in the right direction, with the way we want. There is a lot to play for and we will be up for the challenge.”

In a similar eight-match series staged last month here, West Indies swept the Pakistanis 3-0 in the T20 series before pulling off a 3-2 win in the five-match ODI rubber.

On their last tour here three years ago, South Africa drew the T20 series 2-2 and played to a 1-1 truce in the three-match ODI series.

The qualifiers in December will determine the last three spots for next year’s World Cup in New Zealand from March 4 to April 3.
