In a recent development, Cricket South Africa has released the fixtures for the 2022-23 home season.

The Proteas men will start the season with a three-match ODI series against England. After that, they will clash with the West Indies in a multi-format tour, involving two Tests, three ODIs and as many T20Is. 

The Netherlands will tour the rainbow nation after West Indies, to lock horns with the home side in a two-match ODI series. This series will mark the conclusion of the South African summer.


Here's what CSA CEO Pholetsi Moseki stated

"CSA is thrilled to be hosting England, West Indies and the Netherlands, all worthy opponents, in what is billed to be an exciting summer of international cricket. This is principally good news to our fans who have been starved of the blend of cricket on offer at stadiums since 2020 pandemic. These bumper fixtures confirm that cricket in South Africa is indeed open for business,"

"As we look forward to hosting these cricketing powerhouses, we invite our fans to swell the stadiums in numbers to support the Proteas as they lock horns with the best in the world."
