India is set to host the South Africa women’s cricket team in a multi-format series, signaling the revival of Test cricket between the two nations after nearly a decade.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India confirmed on Tuesday that the tour will span from June 16 to July 9 and will feature a Test match, three One Day Internationals and as many Twenty20 Internationals.
The ODIs will take place in at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, while the lone Test and T20Is are scheduled for M A Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
The last Test encounter between these teams dates back to November 2014. In fact, South Africa broke their eight-year absence from the format by competing in England in June 2022, followed by a series against Australia in February in Perth.
India played England and Australia at home in December last year.
The cricketing action will kick off with a warm-up one-day match in Bengaluru on June 13, showcasing the visitors against the Board President’s XI.
