Starting on December 10, India will play three Twenty20 internationals, three One-Day internationals, and two Tests. All of these games will take place in six different places.

Lawson Naidoo, the head of Cricket South Africa, said in a statement, “Both South Africa and India have very good players, so we can look forward to exciting cricket and matches.”
