Sydney: The Australia A team named on Friday to play South Africa in a three-day tour game at the Sydney Cricket Ground from November 2-4.
Chairman of selectors John Inverarity told reporters that none of the Australia A lineup for the three-day match starting next week was likely to figure in the first Test starting in Brisbane on Nov. 9.
Lefthander Hughes scored a pair of centuries in a stunning test debut against South Africa in 2009, but struggled to cement his place and was dropped after a poor series against New Zealand last year.
Hughes, 23, whose struggles with short-pitched bowling have seen him dumped from the national side twice, had been in impressive form for adopted state South Australia.
Four-test allrounder Andrew McDonald will captain the Australia A side which also features former Test wicketkeeper Tim Paine and another all-rounder Steven Smith.
Allrounder Mitchell Marsh was scratched from selection for the tour match after breaching team discipline with domestic Twenty20 side Perth Scorchers after having a night out in South Africa during the Champions League tournament.
South Africa, number one in the ICC Test rankings, play three Tests in Australia with matches in Adelaide and Perth following the opener at the Gabba.
