The South Africa A cricket team is a national cricket team representing South Africa. It is the 'second-tier' of international South African cricket, below the full South Africa national cricket team. Matches played by South Africa A are not Test matches or One Day Internationals, instead receiving first-class and List A classification respectively. Khaya Zondo is the current captain of the side.[1]
History
South Africa A played their first match in January 1994, a five-day first-class contest against the touring England A cricket team.
South Africa A have played a number of series, both home and away against other national A teams, and competed against other first-class opposition. Their first tour was to Zimbabwe in 1994–95, when they played three first-class matches and three one-day matches, including one match against Zimbabwe A. They played their first Twenty20 in November 2009, facing an England XI as part of the English tour of South Africa.
