The Proteas Women are next in action on the subcontinent with back-to-back bilateral tours against Pakistan and India in September and October this year.

South Africa will then host Bangladesh and Sri Lanka at the end of 2023 in two consecutive homebound tours featuring two respective three-match, One-Day International (ODI) and T20 International (T20I) series across December and January (2024).
