The first unofficial Test match of the three-match series between West Indies A and South Africa A will start on Tuesday (November 21) at Willowmoore Park in Benoni.

Neil Brand is set to captain South Africa A in the series, featuring players with Test experience like Keegan Petersen, Tony de Zorzi, Zubayr Hamza, and Duanne Olivier. Test coach Shukri Conrad is supervising the tour, introducing intriguing selections such as Dane Paterson, Hardus Viljoen, and Dane Piedt. Paterson, absent since 2020, and Viljoen, with a single Test appearance in 2016, add depth to the pace attack. Piedt, returning after leaving South African cricket in 2020, showcased his skills with Knights in the recent CSA 4-Day Series Division 2.

Joshua Da Silva will lead West Indies A, with Tevin Imlach as deputy, in their upcoming tour. Da Silva, previously captain during the West Indies A tour of Bangladesh in May, aims to replicate the success that led to a 1-0 series victory. The squad includes seasoned players like Kirk McKenzie, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Jayden Seales, and Shermon Lewis. Shamar Joseph, Abhijai Mansingh, and Kevlon Anderson, who made their first-class debuts this year, are also a part of the squad. Former Australian bowler Shaun Tait joins Jimmy Adams as Assistant coach under the leadership of Head coach Andre Coley.
