Proteas Women to tour Down Under─── MORGAN PIEK 08:25 Mon, 15 May 2023
Cricket South Africa has confirmed that the Proteas Women will be touring Australia early next year for a bilateral multi-format series.
South Africa and Australia will face each other in a series of three T20 Internationals as well as three One-Day Internationals.
The series will conclude with a one-off Test which will only be the Proteas third ever game in the longest format. The Test will also be the first time South Africa and Australia battle it out in the format.
“The confirmation of this hugely important tour for the Proteas Women in Australia is welcomed news,” said Pholetsi Moseki, the CEO of Cricket South Africa.
“I would like to thank Cricket Australia for their collaboration in helping make this substantial tour a reality.
“The trip down under, which is included in the first women’s cricket Future Tours Programme (FTP), will present the Proteas with elite competition during a pivotal phase ahead of the 2024 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in Bangladesh in September, as the team continue their storied journey near the top of the women’s game.
“Following the success of the recent Women’s T20 World Cup held on home soil, it is without a doubt that the South African public and the global cricket fan at large is eagerly awaiting the next opportunity to witness world-class women’s cricket and this tour goes a long way in delivering that.”
The tour to Australia will be played from 27 January to 18 February.
