South African cricket team in the West Indies in 2024

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The South African cricket team toured the West Indies twice; first in May 2024 to play three T20I matches, and second in August 2024 to play two Tests and three T20I matches.[1][2] The Test series formed part of the 2023–2025 ICC World Test Championship.[3] The first part of the T20I series formed part of both teams' preparation ahead of the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[4][5]
