Sri Lanka set to play two-Test series in South Africa

South Africa’s men’s team hasn’t played any cricket since its aborted tour of India in March 

CSA has confirmed that Sri Lanka will visit South Africa for a two-match Test series, which falls under the World Test Championship cycle, in December-January 2020-21. The two Tests, at Centurion (December 26-30) and Johannesburg (January 3-7) will fill the traditional Boxing Day and New Years’ slots.

The series against Sri Lanka will follow a limited-overs visit from England (three T20Is, three ODIs) in November-December, which has already received a go-ahead from the South African government. Australia are also set to visit South Africa in February 2021 for a three-Test series that will complete a packed home summer.

CSA has also announced that it will send a security delegation to Pakistan – it will depart this weekend – to assess the feasibility of a tour to the country – South Africa’s last visit was in 2007 – which, if it takes place, is slotted for early 2021.

South Africa’s men’s team has not played any cricket since the abandonment of the tour of India in March due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
