Two Indian teams (India A and India B) will faceoff Australia A and South Africa A will be battling it out against each other in a quadrangular one-day series. Each of the four teams will be playing two matches against each opponent before the top two will lock horns in the final. The series will get underway on 17 August 2018 and the final is to be played on 29 August 2018.

All these games will be played in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India at two venues, Devineni Venkata Ramana Praneeth Ground at Mulapadu in Krishna district and Dr Gokaraju Liala Gangaaraju ACA Cricket Ground in Vijayawada. Quite a few international players will be taking part in the series and will want to make a mark to get into the spotlight for national selection.

NOTE: The first two games of the tournament were called off almost a day before the tournament began due to inclement weather conditions in the region. The match officials after consulting curator S Sriram decided that the ground conditions weren’t suitable for any play in the scheduled days (17th and 18th – reserve day). The forecast for the rest of the matches is much better and the series should go as scheduled.
