Australia had announced that their A side and National Performance Squad would play a quadrangular one-day series against South Africa A and another international team.
CA today confirmed that the fourth team is India A.
The quadrangular series will have 18 matches, comprising 30 days of cricket across Mackay, Brisbane and Townsville.
India A will compete in quadrangular series throughout August in Townsville and Mackay, followed by two four-day matches against Australia A in early September in Brisbane.
"This is an important series for developing and growing the depth of talent in our pathways. Players in the Australia A and National Performance Squad have been identified as having the potential to play for their country and the national selectors will be watching this series with interest.
