After South Africa \u2018A\u2019 hosts Sri Lanka 'A' from three 50-over matches (August 31- September 4) and two four-day matches (September 8- 18), the Proteas senior men\u2019s team will open the international home summer in the first Test against Sri Lanka at Kingsmead Stadium in Durban from November 27-December 1, followed by second game at St George\u2019s Park in Gqeberha from December 5-9.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Women\u2019s all-format series against England will run concurrently, starting with a three-match T20I series from November 24 - 30. The three-match ODI series will follow at multiple venues across the country from December 4-11, with the annual Black Day, organised to raise awareness against gender violence, making its return to Kingsmead Stadium on December 8.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Proteas women will then take on England in the first women\u2019s Test match on home soil since 2002, when it hosted India that time. The four-day Test match will be staged at the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein from December 15-18.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
At the same time, men\u2019s T20I side take on Pakistan in a three-match series from December 10-14. Temba Bavuma will lead the side in three-match ODI series from December 17-22. The fan favourite Pink Day will be marked on December 22 at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The two teams will then play a two-game Test series, starting with the Boxing Day Test at SuperSport Park in Centurion from December 26-30, before heading to Cape Town for the New Year\u2019s Test at Newlands Cricket Ground from January 3-7.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The home season, whose tickets will go on sale from October 19, looks a little short in order to make space for the SA20 season and potentially, the 2025 Champions Trophy, apart from South Africa featuring in a tri-series in Pakistan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"As we eagerly anticipate the 2024\/25 home international season, it once again holds the promise of exhilarating encounters. As we open our doors to esteemed cricketing nations like Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and England, we not only showcase the talent and competitiveness of South African cricket but also celebrate the global appeal and camaraderie inherent in our beloved sport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"These fixtures serve as a platform to not just compete, but to foster bonds between nations, uniting players and fans alike in the shared love for cricket,\u201d concluded Pholetsi Moseki, CSA CEO.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/sa-to-host-sri-lanka-and-pakistan-men-england-womens-for-202425-home-summer.jpeg", "alt_img": "SA to host Sri Lanka and Pakistan men, England women\u2019s for 2024\/25 home summer", "alt_title": "SA to host Sri Lanka and Pakistan men, England women\u2019s for 2024\/25 home summer", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "SA To Host Sri Lanka And Pakistan Men, England Women\u2019s For 2024\/25 Home Summer On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "SA To Host Sri Lanka And Pakistan Men, England Women\u2019s For 2024\/25 Home Summer, Cricket South Africa: Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced that the men\u2019s team will take on Sri Lanka in two Tests.", "seo_keywords": "Sri Lanka, Cricket South Africa, After South Africa, Kingsmead Stadium, St George, Black Day, Mangaung Oval, Temba Bavuma, Pink Day, Wanderers Stadium, Boxing Day Test, SuperSport Park, Cape Town, New Year, Newlands Cricket Ground, Champions Trophy", "tag": "", "tagging": "Sri Lanka, Cricket South Africa, After South Africa, Kingsmead Stadium, St George, Black Day, Mangaung Oval, Temba Bavuma, Pink Day, Wanderers Stadium, Boxing Day Test, SuperSport Park, Cape Town, New Year, Newlands Cricket Ground, Champions Trophy", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "sa-to-host-sri-lanka-and-pakistan-men-england-womens-for-202425-home-summer", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1116", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-05-03 15:24:04", "updated": "2024-05-03 15:24:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Sri Lanka, Cricket South Africa, After South Africa, Kingsmead Stadium, St George, Black Day, Mangaung Oval, Temba Bavuma, Pink Day, Wanderers Stadium, Boxing Day Test, SuperSport Park, Cape Town, New Year, Newlands Cricket Ground, Champions Trophy", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-05-03 15:24:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/sa-to-host-sri-lanka-and-pakistan-men-england-womens-for-202425-home-summer-143891" }
