Proteas to play four Tests in SA summer, women to face England: All the fixtures

There will be plenty of action in Novermber, December and January to keep cricket fans happy.


The Proteas men’s team will take on Sri Lanka in two Tests in late November and early December and then face off with Pakistan in a further two Tests from Boxing Day and early in the new year in 2025.

These four Tests are all the Proteas men’s team will play in the coming summer while the Proteas women’s team will take on England in mid-December, in Bloemfontein. This will be the first time since 2002 that the SA women’s team play a Test on home soil.

These fixtures for the South African summer were announced by Cricket South Africa on Friday.

The men’s and women’s teams will also play a bunch of ODI and T20 matches from November through to December.

A South African A team will also take on their A counterparts from Sri Lanka in three 50-over matches and two four-day matches in South Africa at the end of the year.

The men’s Tests against Sri Lanka will be played in Durban between November 27 and December 1 and in Gqeberha between December 5 and 9.

The Pakistan Tests are scheduled for Centurion (December 26-30) and Cape Town (January 3-7).
