Lahore, September 22, 2025– In a landmark development for women’s cricket, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially confirmed that the South Africa Women’s team will tour Pakistan in the 2025/26 season. The series will include both ODIs and T20 internationals, marking another milestone in the growing partnership between the two cricket boards.
The announcement has been warmly received by cricketing circles in both nations. Pakistan continues to cement its status as a hub for international cricket, with top teams increasingly confident about touring the country.
PCB Chairperson in a statement said:
“We are delighted to welcome South Africa Women for what promises to be a thrilling and competitive series. This tour will not only showcase the talent of both sides but also inspire young girls across Pakistan to pursue cricket.”
The tour schedule, including match dates and venues, is expected to be released in the coming weeks. Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi are among the likely venues being considered for the series.
South Africa Cricket, meanwhile, expressed excitement about the tour, underlining the growing respect between the two boards.
“Our players are eager to experience Pakistan’s passion for cricket firsthand. We believe this series will strengthen the bond between our teams and provide invaluable exposure to international competition,” a spokesperson for Cricket South Africa said.
This will not be the first time Pakistan and South Africa women’s teams meet, but hosting them on home soil continues Pakistan’s strategy of expanding opportunities for women’s cricket.
The tour also holds social significance. With women’s cricket gaining momentum globally, such bilateral series send a strong message about inclusivity, resilience, and the importance of international exposure.
Looking ahead, cricket fans across both nations are eagerly awaiting the fixtures. Beyond the competition, the tour is expected to strengthen sporting ties, boost Pakistan’s image as a safe cricketing destination, and inspire the next generation of cricketers.
