South Africa to star in Test cricket on Pakistani soil after a 4-year-long gap
Just a day ago, it was announced that PCB is expecting the Proteas for a two-match Test series on Pakistani soil. The Proteas have not played a single red-ball game in the nation since 2021, when they played two Tests.
Under the leadership of South African former cricketer Quinton de Kock, they had lost both matches in their previous series. 4 years since 2021, this match will be played at Lahore and Rawalpindi.
The first Test will be played from the 12th to the 16th of October in Lahore, while the next game will be played from the 20th to the 24th of October at the Rawalpindi Stadium. The green signal was provided by CSA to PCB after their delegation visited and reviewed the conditions in the country.
