Cape Town [South Africa]: South Africa is set to host India and Australia Women’s cricket teams as part of the ICC Women’s Championship 2025-29 cycle. Both the tours will also include a one-off Test, as per the ICC website.
India Women will tour South Africa for a three-match ODI series in December, part of the ICC Women’s Championship 2025-29 cycle that will decide qualification for the 2029 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup. On the other hand, Australia will travel to South Africa in March 2027 for three T20Is, as many ODIs and a Test match.
The India series will also include a one-off Test, marking the fourth red-ball encounter between the two teams and only the second Women’s Test to be held in Gqeberha
The four-day Test between Australia and South Africa will be just the second time both teams will face each other in red-ball cricket, following their previous meeting in Perth in February 2024, where Australia secured a commanding innings-and-284-run win.
Speaking on the announcement, CSA Chief Executive Officer Pholetsi Moseki said, ‘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.’
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,’ he added.
