Dane Paterson (37) and Ottneil Baartman (33) headline the South Africa A squad set to tour England for two four-day matches against the England Lions, beginning on May 22. The squad, led by Marques Ackermann, aims to build depth ahead of a crucial season. Paterson, who last played a Test in the 2024 Boxing Day match, returns after a period without a national contract, while Baartman seeks redemption after missing the T20 World Cup. Young talent Nqobani Mokoena, with three T20 International caps, joins the squad as a promising newcomer. The squad will also participate in three one-day matches, featuring players like Tony de Zorzi and Connor Esterhuizen, who have recently returned from injuries. The matches will take place at venues including Arundel and Beckenham, where the team previously prepared for the World Test Championship final.
