South Africa to host Australia, England in 2023

CAPE TOWN: South Africa are planning to host rescheduled tours by Australia and England in 2023, the Cricket South Africa (CSA) director of cricket, Graeme Smith confirmed on Friday.

The Australia Test series, which was called off in February last year over concerns around Covid-19, is set to be played in August 2023 while England are scheduled to tour in the winter of 2022-23 to fulfill a three-match ODI series that was postponed for similar reasons in December 2020, as per ESPNcricinfo report.

Notably, Nick Hockley, the chief executive of Cricket Australia, had also previously indicated that a window for 2023 had been agreed on by the two boards.

"England, I think, is around Feb-March next year and then Australia is in August 2023 to replace the [Test series postponed in 2021]. That will be announced sometime soon," Smith said when interviewed by the host broadcaster, SuperSport, during the Cape Town Test against India. (IANS)
