Background
Originally, this series, and the series against New Zealand, was scheduled to be played between July and September in 2023 with three ODIs and three T20Is each.[10][11] However, it was postponed due to the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup in India.[12] The Test match wasn’t originally part of the Future Tours Programme (FTP), but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Cricket South Africa (CSA) decided to add it to promote women's Test cricket.[13][14]
