South Africa to Host Australia in Three-Test Series Starting October 9
South Africa will host Australia in a three-match Test series starting October 9, with matches in Durban, Gqeberha, and Cape Town. The series is significant for the World Test Championship points race, with Australia leading the table and South Africa second. Australia will miss injured players Cameron Green and Josh Inglis, while South Africa hopes for Kagiso Rabada's fitness. The first Test will be broadcast live on EuroSport and streamed on FanCode in India, amid lingering memories of the 2018 ball-tampering scandal.
