India captain Rohit Sharma has announced his retirement from Test cricket with immediate effect but will continue to be available for his country in the ODI format.
Annerie Dercksen and Chloe Tryon starred with the bat but it was not enough as the Proteas Women slipped to a 23-run defeat against India in the ODI tri-series in Colombo.
Captain Laura Wolvaardt says the youngsters in the Proteas Women's squad are 'eager to learn' ahead of the upcoming ODI tri-series in Sri Lanka that will also feature India.
The Proteas will play series in all three formats in India in November and December after the BCCI confirmed the fixtures for the tour.
Legendary India batter Virat Kohli has poured cold water on rumours suggesting he was considering retiring from international cricket.
The Proteas Women will compete in a triangular ODI series in Sri Lanka next month which will serve as important preparation ahead of the World Cup in India later this year.
