The South African A squad is the youngest that has probably ever been fielded particularly in the batting department but is an accurate reflection of form both in the SuperSport Series and the MTN40 this season. Players promoted to this level for the first time include Colin Ingram, Stiaan van Zyl, David Miller, Rilee Rossouw and Jonathan Vandiar. The latter two are in their first season out of the under-19 ranks while Miller is only one year older. Van Zyl and Rossouw both played for the emerging squad last winter as Vandiar would have done but for injury.

There is also a change in the leadership of this group with Thami Tsolekile being recognised for his inspirational captaincy that took the Lions to the final of the Standard Bank Domestic Pro20.

both SA A and WI A also play two four day FC games each before and after the tri-series respectively.
