South Africa batter Pieter Malan will be captaining a 14-member South Africa 'A' squad that will take on India 'A' in a three-match four-day series. All matches of the tour will be played at Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein. The first four-day match will be played from November 23 to 26, followed by the second match from November 29 to December 2, and finishing with the third match from December 6 to 9.

"Test cricket remains one of C'A's key focus areas, along with ensuring that the format continues to thrive and hold relevance in our country. It is therefore vital that a steady stream of talent continues to emerge from our high-performance programme," said Victor Mpitsang, CSA convenor of selectors.
