Squad for India to warm up with one-day game

South Africa's domestic limited-overs season will get a star-studded launch with the annual Sports Trust Cricket Challenge at the Wanderers on November 10. The match traditionally pits the Standard Bank Cup winners against the Rest of South Africa, and this year's game will see all 14 members of the South African squad to tour India in action.

While Andrew Hall and Justin Ontong will represent the Highveld Lions, Ray Jennings, the new national coach, will pick his XI from the other 12 squad members. The squad have been in an intense training camp at the United Cricket Board's High Performance Center at the University of Pretoria since last week, and this match will provide the players with an ideal opportunity to get some match practice ahead of their departure for India on Thursday.

Aside from Ontong and Hall, the Highveld Lions - who beat Easterns in the final of the Standard Bank Cup last season - will feature five players with international experience, including Neil McKenzie, Adam Bacher, HD Ackerman and Derek Crookes.
