West Indies ‘A’ team heading to South Africa for three-match series

The West Indies A team will tour South Africa for a three-match four-day series in late November and December.

The series will get underway from November 21 at Willowmoore Park in Benoni. The second match will be contested at Buffalo Park in East London from 28 November, with the third in Bloemfontein at the Mangaung Oval from 5 December.

SA A will be overseen by Test head coach Shukri Conrad.

“This is another great opportunity for us to continue building depth within our pool of players that are on the fringes of national selection,” said director of cricket Enoch Nkwe.

“Both the national coaches and I have placed plenty of emphasis on A team tours which are a key part of bridging the gap between domestic and international cricket.

“We are therefore pleased to confirm this tour against what we expect to be a strong West Indies team and it will also be great preparation for the 2023-24 Test season.” (cricket mag)
