The England women's cricket team are touring South Africa in November and December 2024 to play the South Africa women's cricket team.[1][2] The tour consists of one Test, three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[3] The ODI series formed part of the 2022–2025 ICC Women's Championship.[4] In May 2024, the Cricket South Africa (CSA) confirmed the fixtures for the tour, as a part of the 2024–25 home international season.[5]

On 14 December, CSA announced that there was no DRS for the one-off Test match.[6][7]

England named uncapped Maia Bouchier and Freya Kemp in the Test squad.[14] Alice Capsey was added to England's T20I squad on 18 November 2024, as a precaution due to minor injury concerns within the squad.[15][16] On 20 November, Paige Scholfield was ruled out of the T20I series due to ankle injury.[17] On 26 November, Seren Smale was drafted into the England T20I and Test squads after Bess Heath was ruled out due to a fractured thumb, while Ryana MacDonald-Gay was also added to the Test match squad.[18][19] On 1 December, Freya Kemp was withdrawn from the England squad for the remainder of the tour to rest her before the 2025 Women's Ashes.[20][21] On 13 December, England added uncapped Grace Potts to the Test squad.[22][23]
