India are scheduled to tour South Africa to take part in their assignment comprising four T20I matches. All four games will be played between November 8 and 15. The first T20I will be played in Durban on November 8, followed by second (10 Nov), third (13 Nov) and fourth (15 Nov) matches in Gqeberha, Centurion, and Johannesburg respectively.

"I would like to thank the BCCI for their continued support to South Africa's cricket, and world cricket in general," Lawson Naidoo, CSA Chairperson, said.

"Any tour by the Indian cricket team to our shores is filled with amazing camaraderie and exciting cricket, and I know our fans will be eagerly awaiting this series which will showcase the exceptional talent from both teams."

BCCI secretary Jay Shah, in a statement, underscored India’s growing and strong cricketing relationship with South Africa.

“India and South Africa have always shared a deep and strong bond, one that both nations take great pride in. The Indian Cricket Team has consistently received immense appreciation and love from South African fans, and this sentiment is equally strong among Indian fans towards the South African side."

"I am confident that the upcoming series will once again highlight the on-field cricketing excellence and deliver enthralling, high-intensity contests,” he said.
