The tour marks the inclusion of the Garden Route Badgers prospect from Thembalethu High School in George – the left arm-spinner, Enathi Khitshini.
The series, which forms part of the preparation for the ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup 2026, gets underway on 28 April at the Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek. The second match will follow on 30 April at the same venue, before the series wraps at the High Performance Oval on 02 May.
SA U19 Convenor of Selectors Patrick Moroney commented: "The squad was selected with an eye on next year's U19 World Cup in Namibia and Zimbabwe. We've stuck with the core group of players who have performed consistently, while also rewarding those who impressed for the CSA Emerging team in the 1-Day Cup.
"Along with this tour, we will also have camps with the extended focus group and a home series against Bangladesh, all of which will assist us in finalising the squad that will represent the junior Proteas at the World Cup."
