Bjorn Fortuin, the 22-year-old bizhub Highveld Lions spin bowling all-rounder, will have his first opportunity to play for South Africa A in the two four-day matches against Australia A to be played next month.
​
There is also a recall for Omphile Ramela while David Miller, Wayne Parnell and Dwaine Pretorius, who were involved in the ICC Champions Trophy and were thus not available for South Africa A in the longer format during their tour of England, have also been included.

Ramela and Miller take the places of Theunis de Bruyn and Temba Bavuma who are no longer available as they are part of the Standard Bank Proteas Test squad to play England. The same applies to Duanne Olivier who is replaced by Parnell.

“The SA A side had a disappointing tour of England,” commented Cricket South Africa (CSA) Selection Convener, Linda Zondi, “and this series together with the following four-day series against India A is a very important one.

“The additions to the squad bring a lot of top-level experience with them and this will help the younger players to develop

“Fortuin did very well for the SA Emerging Squad against their Sri Lanka counterparts last year when he took 12 wickets in the first match and played a pivotal role in their winning the series. He has also been a regular member of the Lions franchise squad for some time and we feel he is ready for the next step up.”

South Africa A four-day squad (to play Australia A): Aiden Markram (Multiply Titans, capt), Junior Dala (Multiply Titans), Bjorn Fortuin (bizhub Highveld Lions), Beuran Hendricks (bizhub Highveld Lions), Reeza Hendricks (bizhub Highveld Lions), Heinrich Klaasen (Multiply Titans), David Miller (VKB Knights), Wayne Parnell (Cape Cobras), Dane Paterson (WSB Cape Cobras), Dane Piedt (WSB Cape Cobras), Dwaine Pretorius (bizhub Highveld Lions), Omphile Ramela (bizhub Highveld Lions), Rudi Second (VKB Knights), Jason Smith (WSB Cape Cobras), Khaya Zondo (Hollywoodbets Dolphins)

South Africa A one-day squad (to play in triangular against Australia A and India A): Khaya Zondo (Hollywoodbets Dolphins, capt), Farhaan Behardien (Multiply Titans), Junior Dala (Multiply Titans), Henry Davids (Multiply Titans), Beuran Hendricks (bizhub Highveld Lions), Reeza Hendricks (bizhub Highveld Lions), Heinrich Klaasen (Multiply Titans), Aiden Markram (Multiply Titans), Mangaliso Mosehle (bizhub Highveld Lions), Wiaan Mulder (bizhub Highveld Lions), Dane Paterson (WSB Cape Cobras), Aaron Phangiso (bizhub Highveld Lions), Dwaine Pretorius (bizhub Highveld Lions), Tabraiz Shamsi (Multiply Titans), Jason Smith (WSB Cape Cobras)
