This article mentions that South Africa have an "Emerging players" team/tour. I like this idea.

We should have something similar for Under 19 players who are no longer under 19, are talented but have had limited first class opportunities. And other players who have emerged through the domestic competition without getting any international recognition so far.

I know we have an A team and an cademy, but there's no harm in having an emerging players squad to face other emerging players across the world and/or maybe tour associate countries...
