The series will form part of the new cycle of the World Test Championship, while the three ODIs will count towards the Super LeagueCape Town — SA and India will start their three-match Test series on December 26 with a Boxing Day fixture in Pretoria, officials confirmed on Monday.
The second Test will be staged in Johannesburg from January 3-7, with the third in Cape Town from January 11-15 in a revised itinerary after India requested to arrive a week later than originally planned for the tour. The teams will also contest a three-match ODI series from January 19-23, with the first two games played in Paarl and the third in Cape Town.
The Test series will form part of the new cycle of the World Test Championship, while the ODIs will count towards the Super League, the qualification tournament for the 2023 World Cup. A revised schedule, which has done away with four Twenty20 Internationals that had originally been pencilled in, was agreed at the weekend after India had expressed reservations about touring due to the discovery of the Omicron Covid-19 variant in SA.January 3-7: Second Test at The Wanderers, JohannesburgJanuary 19: First ODI at Boland Park, Paarl
