South Africa did not name individual squads for the WODI and WT20I matches, opting instead to name a combined squad of 18 players for the tour.[17] Cricket West Indies (CWI) named Anisa Mohammed as the captain for the WT20I matches, after Stafanie Taylor was ruled out due to being a close contact of someone with COVID-19.[18] For the third WT20I match, CWI announced that Cherry-Ann Fraser and Karishma Ramharack had been added to the squad,[19] replacing Shamilia Connell and Shakera Selman.[20] CWI also named Anisa Mohammed as the WODI captain, after Stafanie Taylor was unavailable after returning home.[21] The West Indies added Shakera Selman and Rashada Williams to their WODI squad ahead of the third match, and Britney Cooper was ruled out of the rest of the series due to a medical reason.[22] Reniece Boyce, Cherry-Ann Fraser and Sheneta Grimmond were added to the West Indies' squad for the fourth WODI,[23] with Qiana Joseph, Chedean Nation, and Karishma Ramharack all being rested.[24] Deandra Dottin captained the West Indies for the fifth WODI, after Anisa Mohammed was ruled out of the match with a fractured finger.[25]
