India women are set to have a more demanding tour of South Africa later this year after the schedule was revised to add a three-match T20I series along with the already planned ODI and a one-off Test match.
The original tour was scheduled from December 6 to 23 and included a warm-up game, three ODIs, and a one-off Test. However, following the change in schedule, the tour now has been extended until December 30.
“We are delighted to confirm the revised schedule for India’s tour of South Africa, with the addition of the T20 International series over the festive period, ensuring our Proteas Women have the best possible preparation ahead of the inaugural ICC Women’s Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka early next year,” Pholetsi Moseki, the CSA CEO, said in a statement.
“India remain one of the strongest teams in world cricket, and the opportunity to compete against them across all three formats will provide invaluable competition as we continue building towards another major ICC event,” said Moseki.
