(Reuters) -South Africa have pulled no surprises with their squad for the Women's Cricket World Cup that will be played in India and Sri Lanka from September 30, and as expected there is no place for former captain Dane van Niekerk.

The 15-player squad will be led by Laura Wolvaardt and is made up largely of the players who have helped the team to consecutive runners-up places at the T20 World Cup.
