ndia’s captain Harmanpreet Kaur plays a shot during the third T20I match between India Women and South Africa Women in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Wednesday, April 22, 2026.
Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Thursday announced that a three-match T20I series has been added to the schedule for the Indian women's cricket team’s multi-format tour of South Africa, set to happen in December 2026.
The addition of T20I series in the itinerary comes with an eye to prepare for next year's inaugural ICC Women's Champions Trophy, to be played in Sri Lanka in February 2027. India had toured South Africa for a five-time T20I series in April this year as part of preparation for the Women’s T20 World Cup, but they lost by 4-1.
The tour, scheduled to run from December 9 to 30, will now conclude with the newly added T20I series. A festive Boxing Day T20I encounter will take place on December 26 at Willowmoore Park in Benoni. The final two T20Is will be played at the NWC Oval in Potchefstroom on December 29 and 30 respectively.
The multi-format tour will kick off with a one-off Test match at St George’s Park in Gqeberha from December 9 to 12. Following the red-ball fixture, the two sides will compete in a three-match ICC Women's Championship (IWC) ODI series across Paarl, Cape Town, and Bloemfontein between December 16 and 22.
