The tour was under threat after the outbreak of the Omicron variant of Coronavirus in South Africa. However, the BCCI and CSA have recently reached an agreement, and are going to continue with the tour.

The rescheduled tour would see the arrival of India team delayed by a week, and the Men in Blue will play three Tests and as many ODIs during the tour.

India last toured the nation in 2017/18. They lost the Test series 2-1, while winning the ODIs 5-1, and T20I series 2-1. On this occasion, there’s only the Test and ODI series on the line.

India haven’t won a Test series in South Africa, and would look to correct that record on this tour. South Africa would love to show the world that they aren’t to be taken lightly even after the retirement of some of their greats. The series promises to be a cracking affair with contests between the pace attacks of the two countries being a prospective mouth watering affair.
