It is the only competitive action they will have before the squad is selected to take on the Proteas,&quot; said a CWI statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>South Africa will arrive in St Lucia on June 1 to play two Tests (June 10-14 and June 18-22), followed by a five-match T20I series, beginning June 26.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;There&#39;s going to be some quality. We have the best guys for red-ball cricket in the Caribbean here, so it is going to be a challenge. Also, this game is to select players for the Test team, so it is going to be a great showdown (Best vs Best),&quot; said wicketkeeper-batsman Jahmar Hamilton<\/p>\r\n",
