Cape Town - Stephen Cook will captain the South African Invitation XI to play against India in a two-day tour match at Willowmoore Park on December 14 and 15.
Players from the Titans and Dolphins could not be considered as it clashes with their Sunfoil Series fixture.
“As always, these matches against international touring sides offer the opportunities for players to show their worth at a higher level,” commented SA Invitation XI coach, Vincent Barnes.
“Several of them showed outstanding form in the opening round of Sunfoil Series fixtures. Stephen and Stiaan van Zyl both scored centuries while Temba Bavuma fell just short. Beuran Hendricks, Hardus Viljoen and Stephen Harmer were among the leading wicket-takers.”
