The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Friday announced that India will travel to South Africa in November to take part in a 4-match T20I series.
The series will begin on November 8 in Kingsmead Stadium in Durban, with the next game on November 10 in Gqeberha’s St George’s Park. The series will then move to the highveld with Supersport Park in Centurion for the third match on November 13 and Johannesburg’s Wanderers Stadium will host the last match on November 16.
This will add to the Men in Blue’s packed schedule after the 2024 T20 World Cup with BCCI announcing a spate of home fixtures on Thursday.
With a tour of Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka on the cards already, the home season schedule also includes series against Bangladesh, New Zealand and England.
The season will commence from September 19 with a two-match Test series against Bangladesh, followed by three T20Is.
