Cricket South Africa (CSA) announces that the India women’s multi-format tour of South Africa in December 2026 has been expanded with an additional three-match T20I series. The original itinerary includes a tour game, one Test, and three ODIs. CSA revises the schedule to add three T20Is, with the series planned for December 26 to 30, which extends India’s stay by about a week. The update is reported by multiple outlets after CSA’s announcement on Thursday. The change is also described as part of preparations for major upcoming ICC events. In particular, Yahoo Sports reports that CSA considers the additional T20Is helpful for both teams as they ready for the inaugural ICC Women’s Champions Trophy, scheduled to be held in Sri Lanka in February. Other sources confirm the addition of the three T20Is alongside the existing Test and ODI fixtures, without changing the broader structure of the tour beyond the extra week and matches. All accounts present the update as a late schedule adjustment intended to provide more international T20 competition ahead of the next ICC tournament.
