DHAKA: Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Friday, announced the 15-man Coca-Cola South Africa under-19 team that will take on Bangladesh youths from 29 June to 21 July 2015 in a seven-match.

The Youth One-Day International series will be played in Durban and Pietermaritzburg of South Africa.

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), reports supersport.com
