The series against South Africa will be India’s first major assignment after the World Cup as it will feature three T20Is, three ODIs and two Tests.
In a joint statement made by BCCI and CSA, it was said, “The tour will begin with a three-match T20I series, followed by a three-match ODI series and will culminate with the Freedom Series for Gandhi-Mandela Trophy involving two Tests.”
The three T20Is are slated to kickstart with the first match on December 10th at Durban, and then continue with the second one on December 12th at Gqeberha, eventually concluding with the series finale on December 14th at Johannesburg.
The three ODIs will start with the first encounter will at Johannesburg on December 17th followed by the second contest at Gqeberha on December 19th, with the final 50-over contest scheduled for December 21st at Paarl.
After the limited-overs series, the two match Gandhi-Mandela series will be a part of the latest cycle of the WTC that India started with a remarkable victory against West Indies.
BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a statement, “The Freedom Series is significant not just because it features two excellent Test teams, but also because it honours Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela, two great leaders who shaped our respective nations, and the world around them. The Boxing Day Test and the New Year Test are amongst the most important fixtures on the international cricket calendar and the schedule has been planned particularly around these marquee dates. India has always received strong support in South Africa, and I am confident that fans will be treated to some enthralling contests with no shortage of intensity.”
