Two of South Australia's brightest cricket stars have earned selection in the Australia A squad for an upcoming tour of India.
South Australian duo Darcie Brown and Courtney Webb have been named in the 15-player squad, which will play three T20 matches in New Chandigarh, three 50-over fixtures in Mohali and a four-day clash in Dharamshala.
The pair will be joined by South Australian Women's Head Coach Mick Delaney, who has been appointed as an assistant coach alongside former South Australian spinner Cameron Boyce under Head Coach Gavan Twining.
Brown will feature in the white-ball matches only.

National Selector Shawn Flegler said the tour would provide a valuable opportunity for the squad to gain experience in challenging overseas conditions.
"This tour presents the players with a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable experience in subcontinental conditions and test themselves against strong international opposition.
"Exposure to Indian conditions early in a player's career is invaluable and those experiences provide an important foundation before they make the step up to international cricket.
"It's great to have Tayla back in the green and gold and to have Darcie back in action. Both bring invaluable international experience to the group, and having them alongside some of our younger players provides a great opportunity for those emerging cricketers to learn from two world-class fast bowlers while continuing their own development."
