The South Africa A cricket team has announced its squad for the tour of England, which will feature experienced seamers Dane Paterson and Ottneil Baartman, alongside newcomer Nqobani Mokoena. The squad, led by Marques Ackermann, will participate in two four-day matches starting on May 22. Paterson, who last played a Test match in the 2024 World Test Championship final, is making a comeback after a period without a national contract. Baartman, 33, aims to re-establish himself after controversially missing the T20 World Cup. Mokoena, only 19, has already earned three T20I caps and is seen as a rising star. The tour is designed to create depth in the squad ahead of a busy season, with matches scheduled at Arundel and Beckenham for the four-day format, and additional one-day matches in Leicester and Worcester. The one-day squad includes familiar names like Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Connor Esterhuizen, both currently participating in the IPL. This tour presents an opportunity for players to showcase their skills and secure their positions in the national team.
