JOHANNESBURG: Cricket South Africa (CSA) has announced the SA Emerging Men’s and Women’s squads set to tour Bangladesh next month.

The SA Emerging Women’s white-ball tour will comprise of three one-day matches in Chattogram from 06 – 11 May, followed by three T20 matches in Cox’s Bazar from 14 – 18 May.

Meanwhile, the SA Emerging Men will play three 50-over matches in Rajshahi from 12 – 16 May, before heading to Chattogram for the first four-day match, which gets underway on 20 May. The tour will conclude with the second four-day match in the capital city, Dhaka, starting on 27 May.

World Sports Betting Western Province pace bowler Leah Jones (T20) and DP World Lions spinner Kgomotso Rapoo (50-over) will lead the Emerging Women's side under the tutelage of head coach Dinesha Devnarain, while Six Gun Grill Garden Route Badgers batter George van Heerden will captain the Emerging Men’s side with head coach Malibongwe Maketa.

Head of High Performance Grant van Velden commented: “This tour is an important one for our emerging players across both our men’s and women’s domestic system to gain international experience.

“Touring Bangladesh provides a unique opportunity to develop and test skills in traditionally tough subcontinent conditions, something that is essential as our players continue to grow through the national pipeline.

“The women’s squad comprises of a mix of players who have represented the junior and senior national teams as well as those on the fringe, making this a tour to build on that experience and challenge for higher honours.

“A couple of the men’s players were part of a previous U19 tour to Bangladesh a few years ago, so I’m excited to see how they adapt to this level.

“The tour also leads into the start of this year’s Emerging Academy programme, which runs from June to July, with that intake set to be announced later this week.”
