The 2017 South Africa A Team Tri-Series was a cricket that took place in South Africa in July and August 2017. It was a tri-nation series between South Africa A, Afghanistan A and India A.[1] The one-day matches were played as List A fixtures. Following the List A fixtures, South Africa A and India A played two four-day games with first-class status, also called unofficial Tests.
Originally, Australia A were scheduled to play in the series, but they withdrew in early July following an ongoing pay dispute with Cricket Australia.[2][3] Later that month, Afghanistan A were named as their replacement, after the national team was awarded Test match status the previous month.[4]
India A won the tri-series, beating South Africa A by 7 wickets in the final of the competition.[5] The first-class series was drawn 1–1, with South Africa A winning the first match and India A winning the second.[6]
