The Freedom Series was felt by both nations to be a more fitting name in recognition of South Africa&#39;s and India&#39;s shared history of winning freedom through non-violence, not to mention their shared love of cricket!&quot; a CSA release stated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A specially designed Freedom Series Trophy Podium will also commemorate the landmark series and will be unveiled in a special ceremony ahead of the opening Test, starting in Cape Town on January 5.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The other two Tests are scheduled to be played at Centurion (from January 13) and Johannesburg (from January 24).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Source - Agency<\/p>\r\n",
