Cricket South Africa has named a squad of 24 players from which the South Africa A side will be selected for two four-day 'Test' matches against Sri Lanka A at Kingsmead in Durban and for a triangular one-day series against Zimbabwe A and Sri Lanka A in Zimbabwe.
Faf du Plessis of the Nashua Titans will captain South Africa A in both formats while there are four newcomers to South Africa A level in Highveld Lions batsman Temba Bavuma, Lions all-rounder Chris Morris and two spin bowlers, Simon Harmer of the Chevrolet Warriors and Aaron Phangiso of the Lions.
Its a wonderful accolade for Harmer who has also been awarded a full Warriors contract for next season - he can certainly bat too.
The South Africa A matches will all be played in late June and July.
