Proteas Return to Action: West Indies Tour Schedule
The Proteas will be back in the Caribbean next month to play two World Test Championship matches and three Twenty20 Internationals.
South Africa doesn’t have much time to dwell on the disappointment of missing out on the T20 World Cup as they will soon be back in action. The Proteas will return to the Caribbean for a bilateral series against the West Indies, involving two Tests and three T20Is.
WHEN DO THE PROTEAS PLAY AGAIN?
The Test matches against the West Indies are part of the World Test Championship. These games are critical as both teams are slightly behind in the WTC standings but still have a chance to get back into the race for the final in 2025.
South Africa is scheduled for a tour to Bangladesh in October and November, but that series may be postponed to later in the season. A potential home T20I series against India has yet to be officially added to the schedule despite being announced in January.
Cricket South Africa has confirmed that the Proteas will also play a white-ball series against Ireland in the UAE, about a month after the Caribbean tour. The two Test series that the Proteas will play at home this summer are also part of the WTC.
HOME SUMMER STARTS AGAINST SRI LANKA
Sri Lanka will be the first opponents for the Proteas in their home summer, starting with a Test at Kingsmead in Durban from 27 November. Another coastal Test follows at St George’s Park, with the Proteas needing to make up points on the top sides in the WTC.
Pakistan will arrive in December and will play a three-match T20I series followed by three ODIs before the two Tests on Boxing Day and the New Year’s match in Cape Town.
