South African cricket team in India (2019–20)
The South Africa cricket team is scheduled to tour India in September and October 2019 to play three Tests and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. The Test series will form part of the inaugural 2019–21 ICC World Test Championship. South Africa are also scheduled to return to India in March 2020 to play three One Day International (ODI) matches.
In August 2019, Cricket South Africa confirmed that Faf du Plessis would lead the Test side for the tour, with Quinton de Kock named captain of the T20I team. Later the same month, as per the request of the Jharkhand Cricket Association, due to Durga Puja celebrations in the second week of October in Ranchi, the Committee of Administrators (CoA) agreed to switch the venues of the second and third Tests. Pune, which was originally scheduled to host the third Test, will now host the second Test, while Ranchi will now host the third Test match.
