The West Indies ‘A’ team is all set to take on South Africa ‘A’ in a thrilling five-match series, starting from May 21 at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in Saint Lucia.

The series will feature three 50-over matches and two four-day first-class tests and reflects regional governing body Cricket West Indies’ broader strategy to ensure international cricket is shared across the territories, strengthening regional ties and fan engagement at every level.

The tour kicks off with the first of three 50-over matches on May 21, followed by matches on May 24 and May 27. Following the one-dayers, the focus will shift to the longer format with two four-day test matches scheduled for June 1-4 and June 8-11.

Director of Cricket, Miles Bascombe stated, “This is a critical part of the development of our players while creating a pathway towards full international selection. Following an encouraging first-class season, this series comes at the perfect time especially with the new World Test Championship cycle only a couple months away.”

The West Indies ‘A’ squad will be announced shortly, while South Africa ‘A’ is scheduled to arrive in Saint Lucia on May 16.
