Ashwell Prince to lead A team to Zimbabwe

The South Africa A squad for the Zimbabwe tour in August has been announced. The 13-man team contains several internationals, including Ashwell Prince - who captains the side - Paul Adams, Neil McKenzie and Charl Willoughby. After the two four-day matches are played, four players will be replaced by specialists for the four one-day games to follow.

The squad is expected to pose stiff opposition to a Zimbabwean side set back by the absence of their senior players, and who were beaten badly in the Test series against Sri Lanka. Omar Henry, the chairman of selectors, was confident that the side would perform well with a new coach, Ray Jennings, in charge. "This is a very good squad with every player vying for a place in the National Team. And under Ray, they are in good hands."

Squad for four-day games Ashwell Prince (capt), Paul Adams, Hashim Amla, Loots Bosman, Zander de Bruyn, AB de Villiers, Garnett Kruger, Charl Langeveldt, Neil McKenzie, Albie Morkel, Alfonso Thomas, Thami Tsolekile (wk), Charl Willoughby.
