The South Africa women's cricket team is touring India in June and July 2024 to play the India women's cricket team.[1][2] The tour will consist of one Test, three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[3][4] The ODI series forms part of the 2022–2025 ICC Women's Championship.[5] The T20I series forms part of both teams' preparation ahead of the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup tournament,[6] and India's preparation for the 2024 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup.[7] In May 2024, BCCI confirmed the fixtures for the tour.[8][9]

Background

Originally, this series, and the series against New Zealand, was scheduled to be play between July and September in 2023 with three ODIs and three T20Is each.[10] However, it postponed due to the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup in India.[11] The Test match wasn’t originally part of the Future Tours Programme (FTP) but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Cricket South Africa (CSA) decided to add it to promote women's Test cricket.[12][13]
