The tour forms part of the reciprocal agreement between CSA and Bangladesh Cricket Board, following South Africa’s tour to the subcontinent country earlier this year. It is also part of South Africa’s preparations for the ICC U19 World Cup that will take place in Bangladesh in January 2016.
The junior Proteas will be led by Tony De Zorzi of Gauteng, whose performances on the field and leadership skills off it convinced selectors that he is the right man for the job. He will be joined by recent CSA Awards Breakfast winners, Aaqil Ebrahim (CSA U17 Player of the Year) and Dean Foxcroft (Coca-Cola Schools T20 Player of the Year).
SA U19s coach, Lawrence Mahatlane said; “I’m looking forward to a new challenge and with a bit of experience starting to build up in the squad, I’m excited to see the growth of this group. We’re looking forward to get to Durban in a couple of weeks and getting down to business with a really excited and motivated group of players.”
