India will travel to South Africa for a three-match ODI series, which will be part of the ICC Women’s Championship. It will begin on December 9 in Potchefstroom. The second ODI will be played in Bloemfontein before the teams travel to Newlands for the third and final ODI.

Later in the new year, South Africa will host Australia for a full series, which includes ODIs, T20Is and a Test. The tour begins with a T20I series from March 18 in Kimberley before the teams move to Benoni and KuGompo City (East London) for the second and third T20Is. The ODI series begins on March 27 in Gqeberha and the sides will next head to Paarl for the second ODI on March 31. The series will conclude in Durban on April 3, which will be a Black Day ODI, continuing to highlight the ongoing fight against gender-based violence.

This is Australia’s first full bilateral tour to South Africa. They were supposed to visit in March 2020 for ODIs and T20Is but the tour was cancelled due to Covid-19.

“We are delighted to host two of the world’s leading teams in India and Australia for what promises to be a blockbuster home summer for the Proteas Women,” CSA Chief Executive Officer Pholetsi Moseki said. “These tours will showcase the very best of international women’s cricket and build on the encouraging rise in fan attendance, as we continue to welcome growing crowds across the country to watch world-class players competing at some of our iconic venues.”
