“The test series will be part of the new cycle of the ICC World Test Championship, and the ODI series will be conducted as a bilateral,” CSA added.

India captain Virat Kohli shared his views on the upcoming South Africa Tour, saying that after the team defeated New Zealand in the Mumbai Test, “South Africa is a good challenge. We built it last time in England and South Africa. Australia is “the accumulation of all these experiences. South Africa is a daunting challenge, and we hope to win as a team. Hope we can play in South Africa the way we know and win the series. “

India has never won a test series in South Africa. They lost the previous series 1-2 in the first two games.
