List of South Africa women Test cricketers

[1] Women's cricket was played in South Africa fairly regularly throughout the beginning of the 20th century, but died out during the Second World War.

[3] The South Africa & Rhodesian Women's Cricket Association (SA&RWCA) was officially formed in 1952.

[2] At their annual general meeting in January 1955, the SA&RWCA accepted an invitation from the Women's Cricket Association to join an International Women's Cricket Council that, in addition to South Africa, included England, Australia and New Zealand.

[2] In 1959, arrangements were made for the first international women's cricket tour of South Africa, as they would play host to the English team in 1960.

[9] Yvonne van Mentz, Brenda Williams, Mignon du Preez, and Marizanne Kapp are the only South African women to have scored Test centuries,[10] while Jean McNaughton, Lorna Ward and Sunette Loubser have all taken five-wicket hauls, with Ward doing it on three occasions.
