Originally, Australia A were scheduled to play in the series, but they withdrew in early July following an ongoing pay dispute with Cricket Australia.[2][3] Later that month, Afghanistan A were named as their replacement, after the national team was awarded Test match status the previous month.[4]

India A won the tri-series, beating South Africa A by 7 wickets in the final of the competition.[5] The first-class series was drawn 1–1, with South Africa A winning the first match and India A winning the second.[6]
