The Cricket South Africa on Thursday (August 6, 2026) revised the schedule of India women’s team tour later this year to accommodate three T20Is in addition to a Test and three ODIs.
As per the revised itinerary, the one-off Test will be played from December 9-12 before the ODI series kicks in from December 16-22.
Now, the Indian team will spend an extra week in South Africa to play the T20I series between December 26 and 30.
The T20Is will be played at Benoni and Potchefstroom, which the CSA felt will give both the sides a good platform going into the inaugural Women’s Champions Trophy, which will be played in Sri Lanka in February.
“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.
India had toured South Africa in March-April this year for a T20I series which they lost 1-4.
The two teams then clashed in the T20 World Cup in England, where SA beat India to dent their chances of entering the semifinal.
