T20 World Cup: South African seamer Shabnim Ismail is on the verge of making a dramatic return to international cricket and has reportedly made herself available for selection ahead of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, even as Cricket South Africa unexpectedly postponed the announcement of the national squad at the last minute on Monday.

CSA had originally scheduled a live online media briefing for 11 a.m. local time to unveil South Africa’s World Cup squad. However, shortly before the announcement was due to begin, the board informed the media that the event had been deferred due to the need for “further internal reviews”, with a new date to be announced later.

While CSA did not provide further clarification, that delay is linked to internal discussions rather than a formal selection dispute, according to ESPNCricinfo. Ismail’s potential comeback, however, has quickly become one of the major talking points surrounding the squad.
