India Tour Of South Africa Schedule Announced
Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Wednesday announced their schedule for the upcoming series against India which will see the two sides play three Test matches, six ODIs and three T20I matches. The T20 matches will see both men and women’s team feature on the same day. The series begins on January 5 in Cape Town. The previously touted schedule had India playing the Boxing Day Test as well but that will now be played by Zimbabwe in a four-day day-night Test – a first in the game and subject to ICC approval.
“We are pleased to finally announce the complete schedule of international cricket starting tomorrow with the first Sunfoil Test match against Bangladesh,” said CSA Chief Executive, Haroon Lorgat. “It is going to be a very busy home season with both India and Australia touring in the new year. This will be a big season for the Standard Bank Proteas and a real treat for our fans.”
“The Momentum Proteas will also be involved with double header T20 International matches between South Africa and India. Featuring both our men’s and women’s teams on the same day is going to be a very special occasion and most fitting for the women’s game which is growing and attracting its own fans.”
“This is now the time when none of us can wait for the action to start,” concluded Mr. Lorgat.
