South Africa Announce Test Schedule Against England and Australia

Bangla Press Desk:  World champions South Africa have confirmed home Test series against England and Australia in their 2026/27 summer season, but a proposed T20 series against the English has been postponed.

Australia will visit South Africa for three Tests starting on 9 October in Durban, their first five-day cricket in the country since the infamous 2018 series when then captain Steve Smith admitted the side had used sandpaper to tamper with the ball.

They will also play Tests in Gqeberha and Cape Town.

That will follow a three-match One-Day International (ODI) series between the sides.

England will play a Test series starting in Johannesburg on 17 December, before a Boxing Day clash in Pretoria and a New Year Test in Cape Town.

England will also play three ODIs.
