The tour of Pakistan is said to take place between January and February of the coming year.
Sources at PCB said that the South African team’s tour will last for four weeks, and the team is expected to arrive in Pakistan on January 20. The visiting team will play two Tests and three T20I matches in the series. The series is set to be played in Lahore and Karachi. The first Test of the series will be played in Karachi from January 28, while Lahore is also likely to host the first Test match since 2009.
No details of the planned fixtures were revealed but according to the International Cricket Council’s future tours program, South Africa are due to play in two world Test championship matches as well as three Twenty20 internationals in January and February.
The South African team has not been playing internationally since a one-day tour of India was called off because of the Coronavirus pandemic in March.
