Cricket South Africa (CSA) revealed an exciting schedule for the 2024/25 international home season on Friday.

The Proteas Men will take on Sri Lanka in two Tests and Pakistan in an all-format tour, while the Proteas Women are set to host England for a multi-format tour.

The international summer kicks off with a South Africa ‘A’ tour against Sri Lanka ‘A’, which will see the sides contest three 50-over matches (31 August-4 September) and two four-day matches (8-18 September).

The Proteas Men will then take on Sri Lanka in the first Test at Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium in Durban from 27 November-1 December, before Dafabet St George’s Park in Gqeberha hosts the second Test from 5-9 December.

The Proteas Women’s tour against England will run concurrently, starting with a three-match T20 International (T20I) series from 24-30 November. The three-match One-Day International (ODI) series will follow at multiple venues across the country between 4-11 December, with the annual Black Day making its return to Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium on 8 December.

The tour will also see Laura Wolvaardt and her charges take on England in the first women’s Test match on home soil since 2002. The four-day encounter will be staged at the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein from 15-18 December.

Fans will get the opportunity to see the Proteas Men’s white-ball outfit in December when Aiden Markram’s T20I side take on Pakistan in three KFC T20Is from 10-14 December. Temba Bavuma will then lead the ODI group in as many ODIs from 17-22 December, with the fan favourite Pink Day marked for 22 December at the DP World Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.

The men’s final assignment of the summer will be a two-match Test series against Pakistan, starting with the Boxing Day Test at SuperSport Park in Centurion from 26 30 December, before Bavuma’s side head to Cape Town for the New Year’s Test at World Sports Betting Newlands Cricket Ground from 3-7 January.

Tickets go on sale on 19 August.

CSA CEO, Pholetsi Moseki commented: “As we eagerly anticipate the 2024/25 home international season, it once again holds the promise of exhilarating encounters.

“As we open our doors to esteemed cricketing nations like Sri Lanka, Pakistan and England, we not only showcase the talent and competitiveness of South African cricket but also celebrate the global appeal and camaraderie inherent in our beloved sport.

“These fixtures serve as a platform to not just compete but to foster bonds between nations, uniting players and fans alike in the shared love for cricket,” he concluded.
