India Women’s Cricket Tour of South Africa Expanded to Include Three T20Is
Cricket South Africa has expanded the India women's cricket team's December 2026 tour to include a three-match T20I series, in addition to a one-off Test and three ODIs. The tour will run from December 9 to 30, with matches across all three formats played in various South African venues.

The ODI matches also count towards 2029 World Cup qualification.
