Several Proteas included in South Africa A squad selected to tour Sri Lanka

The South Africans will take on the hosts in three one-day games and two four-day matches.

The squad is strengthened by several Proteas capped players, among them being Keegan Petersen, Kyle Verreynne, Gerald Coetzee and Tristan Stubbs. The tour also marks the return of Zubayr Hamza to the national setup.

The squad includes emerging domestic players such as Titans batter Dewald Brevis and Warriors batting duo Jordan Hermann and Matthew Breetzke.

Commenting on the selection of the squad, Conrad said: "The squad reflects the next crop of players that are emerging from our pipeline.

"We also rewarded those who have performed for their respective domestic teams this past summer.

"The tour will provide the opportunity for those players, together with the younger Proteas, to put their skills to the test in highly competitive, international conditions.

"It will also serve to strengthen the batting depth in the red-ball department, as we build towards the Test series against India later this year."

CSA Director of Cricket Enoch Nkwe added: "On behalf of Cricket South Africa, I would like to thank Sri Lanka Cricket for hosting Shukri and his team for what we consider to be much needed game time during our winter months.

"The tour is also seen as a stepping stone in our overall strategy to increase the depth of players within our pipeline."
