The major highlight of the schedule will be South Africa women\u2019s teams hosting Ireland and Pakistan for white-ball tours.\n<p>Both series against Ireland and Pakistan will comprise of three T20Is and as many ODIs. South Africa will host Ireland from December 5-19, while Pakistan will be in the country from February 10 to March 1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The series against Pakistan also marks the start of the first round of the new International Women\u2019s Championship (IWC) cycle, leading up to the 2029 Women\u2019s ODI World Cup. South Africa men\u2019s, meanwhile, will play a five-match T20I series against West Indies from January 27 to February 6, before participating in the 2026 ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cOur 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\u2019s T20 World Cup,\" said Pholetsi Moseki, CSA CEO.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In addition to the senior fixtures, the South Africa U19 Men will continue their preparations for the 2026 ICC U19 Men\u2019s Cricket World Cup with a three-match Youth ODI series against Bangladesh from July 17 \u2013 22 at Willowmoore Park in Benoni.
