The Proteas Women headline next summer's fixtures with white-ball tours against Ireland and Pakistan across all major cricket venues in South Africa.
Both tours consist of three T20 Internationals (T20Is) and three One-Day Internationals (ODIs), with South Africa set to welcome Ireland from 05 - 19 December 2025 and Pakistan from 10 February - 01 March 2026. The Pakistan series also marks the first round of the new International Women's Championship (IWC) cycle, leading up to the 2029 World Cup.
World Sports Betting Newlands Cricket Ground, Dafabet St George's Park, DP World Wanderers Stadium, and SuperSport Park are among the host venues, along with Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium, which will once again stage the annual Black Day ODI in Durban on 01 March 2026.
The Proteas Men will play a five-match T20I series against West Indies from 27 January - 06 February, before Aiden Markram's side heads to the subcontinent for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka.
South Africa 'A' will face New Zealand 'A' in three 50-over matches (30 August - 04 September) and two four-day matches (07 - 17 September) in Pretoria and Potchefstroom.
In addition to the senior fixtures, the SA U19 Men will continue their preparations for the ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup 2026 with a three-match Youth ODI series against Bangladesh from 17 - 22 July. All three matches are scheduled to take place at Willowmoore Park in Benoni.
CSA Chief Executive Officer Pholetsi Moseki commented: "We are looking forward to seeing our women take on Ireland and Pakistan. These tours not only provide our team with strong competition but also give our fans an opportunity to watch the Proteas Women compete at their favourite venues across the country.
"Our international window for men's cricket is unusually shorter next season due to outbound bilateral tours to Australia, England, Pakistan, and India between August and December.
"The Betway SA20 will also take place before the T20 International series against West Indies, with both providing valuable game time ahead of next year's T20 World Cup.
"We are also pleased to be hosting national development tours, with South Africa A tours a regular feature in our summer fixtures, along with the SA U19 tours, which are crucial for our national pipeline.”
