The champion White Ferns and runners-up South Africa are represented by three players each (including the 12th player) in the Women’s T20 World Cup tournament team.
England, India, the West Indies, Bangladesh and Australia are also represented.
LATEST HEADLINES:
The 24-year-old took 15 wickets – the most by any player at a single ICC Women’s T20 World Cup – and scored 135 runs, top-scoring with 43 in the final to help the White Ferns lift the trophy for the first time.
She is joined in the squad by teammates Rosemary Mair, who took 10 wickets at 11.70 including three in the final, and Eden Carson, listed as 12th in this team after nine wickets of her own.
South Africa’s opening pair finished as the two highest run-scorers in the competition and both Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits are selected.
Wolvaardt was remarkably consistent, with four scores of 40 or above including a best of 59 not out in the opener against West Indies helping her to a tournament-high tally of 223 at 44.60. The 25-year-old, who is named as captain of the Team of the Tournament, struck at 113.19 across her six innings.
Her opening partner Brits also contributed valuable runs throughout the competition, making 187 in total with a best of 57 not out, as the pair played an integral role for South Africa in the powerplay.
England's Danni Wyatt-Hodge joins them in the top order after scoring 151 runs in four innings.
No South African had reached double figures for wickets in a single ICC Women’s T20 World Cup before but Nonkululeko Mlaba changed that with a string of impressive displays in the UAE.
She entered the wickets column in all six matches she played in, taking four for 29 against West Indies and three for 12 against Scotland, while Mlaba also earned the key scalp of Tahlia McGrath in South Africa’s semi-final win over Australia and two wickets in the final.
Bangladesh skipper Nigar Sultana takes the gloves following an impressive competition. She led her side to their first ICC Women’s T20 World Cup victory for 10 years against Scotland and impressed with the bat against both West Indies (39) and South Africa (32 not out).
She is joined in the middle order by India's Harmanpreet Kaur, who ended the tournament with a remarkable average of 150 after being dismissed just once in four innings.
Megan Schutt is also selected following a history-making competition which saw her become the highest wicket-taker in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup history.
The Australian took her tally to 48 with eight victims in 2024, including three for three against New Zealand, and went at just 4.07 runs per over across the tournament.
West Indies pair Deandra Dottin and Afy Fletcher complete the line-up. Dottin, who came out of retirement to feature in the competition, made 120 runs and took five wickets. She also struck nine sixes, six more than the next highest by an individual player.
Leg-spinner Fletcher is included after taking 10 wickets at 11.50, including three apiece against England and Scotland. The 37-year-old also took two scalps against both Bangladesh and New Zealand.
