Cricket South Africa (CSA) has today announced the South Africa A (SA ‘A’) squads for the India A tour of South Africa beginning next week.
SA ‘A’ will play two four-day matches against India A at the JB Marks Oval in Potchefstroom and at Willowmoore Park in Benoni starting from 11 and 26 December respectively.
The first match, which will be led by former SA U19 captain Bryce Parsons, has afforded the opportunity to test the depth of the talent pool within CSA’s pipeline structures.
Meanwhile, the second match will see the return of several Test capped players, including Zubayr Hamza, Duanne Olivier, Ryan Rickelton, and Khaya Zondo, along with Proteas spinner Bjorn Fortuin.
Matthew Breetzke, who is currently with the Proteas T20 International squad against India, will captain the side.
