The National Cricket Academy will test their mettle on the sub-continent when they play the Bangladesh Cricket Academy in a tour consisting of four-day, one-day and T20 matches next month. This is the second of such reciprocal tours between Cricket South Africa (CSA) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board, and forms part of CSA’s strategy to provide young cricketers the opportunity to experience different playing environments.

 

“This tour is more about proficiency for the players and we want them to get an understanding of the conditions on the sub-continent and to further develop and grow certain aspects of their game,” commented Anton Ferreira, CSA Coaching Manager.

 

Bizhub Highveld Lions batsman, Temba Bavuma, was not considered for the tour and Cameron Delport from KwaZulu-Natal and Jerry Nqolo from Border have withdrawn from the Academy due to personal reasons.
