South Africa are ready to tour Pakistan for a full series that includes all formats, Tests, T20Is, and ODIs. The series will start on October 10, 2025, with the first Test match at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The tour will be played across three cities: Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Faisalabad.
This tour kicks off with two Test matches, followed by three T20Is and three ODIs. The Test series will also be part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025–27 cycle, making it even more important.
It is going to be an exciting contest since Pakistan will have the home advantage, but South Africa’s strong batting and experienced all-rounders will make it a tough competition. Shan Masood will captain Pakistan, while Aiden Markram will lead South Africa.
As the teams gear up for an action-packed series, here’s everything you need to know.
