In late 2025, India and South Africa will compete in a white-ball tour.

According to reports, the India and South Africa would play a limited overs series in major Tier 2 towns in India in late 2025. The top candidates to host these games might include Ranchi, Raipur, Vizag, Cuttack, Nagpur, Dharamshala, Lucknow, and Ahmedabad. South Africa will play India in a limited overs series consisting of three ODIs and twenty20Is.

The tour might begin with a three-match ODI series, according to the reports. The first one might happen in Ranchi on November 30. The series’ second ODI may be played in Raipur on December 3rd, and the final ODI leg is anticipated to end in Vizag on December 6th.

It is anticipated that the tour’s final locations and dates will be formally announced soon.
