The Cricket Australia Cup is a tournament for each State's second XI team to gain quality match practice throughout the season. Each State, including the ACT, plays each other once throughout the season.

South Australia's selections are not only Redbacks squad members but also include those players who perform outstandingly in the A Grade competition.
