The South African men’s cricket team is set to tour Pakistan later this year for a month-long series, although Cricket South Africa (CSA) has reportedly requested the trip be kept as short as possible. Sources suggest the Proteas want the schedule limited to 16 playing days, along with two additional weeks of rest.

Negotiations are ongoing between the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and CSA, with discussions including a three-day gap between the two Test matches. Tentatively, the tour will begin with red-ball action on October 12 in Lahore, followed by the second Test in Rawalpindi on October 20.

The white-ball leg of the tour will feature a three-match ODI series starting October 28 in Rawalpindi, with the second ODI on October 31 and the third on November 2 in Faisalabad. This will be followed by a three-match T20I series, beginning November 5 in Multan, while the final two games will be played in Lahore on November 8 and 9.

Venue and logistical discussions

PCB has floated several venue options for the tour, with Lahore and Rawalpindi considered for the Test matches, while Faisalabad and Multan join the mix for white-ball games. A South African recce team has already visited Pakistan and will submit its findings to CSA officials before the schedule is finalized.

Cricket will make its long-awaited return to the Olympics stage at the LA 2028 Games beginning July 12. This will be cricket's first event at the Summer Games since Paris 1900, when only Great Britain and France competed in a single match that is now recognized as an unofficial Test match. The LA 2028 will have a much more modern and competitive format, with a T20 tournament and separate men’s and women’s tournaments.

Each tournament will have six teams competing for gold, silver, and bronze medals, with 90 athlete quotas for men and for women, so 90 athletes per gender. Teams will be permitted to name 15-member squads. The matches will mostly be played as double-headers, beginning at 9:00 AM and 6:30 PM local time in Los Angeles. For Indian viewers, that translates to matches starting at 9:30 PM IST and 7:00 AM IST the following day. Notably, there will be no cricket matches on July 14 and 21.

All cricket matches are slated to take place at a temporary venue set up within the Fairgrounds in Pomona—officially known as Fairplex—about 50 kilometers from Los Angeles. This nearly 500-acre complex, known for hosting the LA County Fair and other major events, will transform into an Olympic cricket arena for the duration of the Games.

Cricket’s Olympic Revival and Multi-Sport Legacy

Cricket’s reintroduction to the Olympics follows a steady rise in its presence across major international multi-sport events. While the men’s game was featured at the 1998 Commonwealth Games, women’s cricket made its debut at Birmingham 2022. T20 cricket has also been played at several editions of the Asian Games, including 2010, 2014, and 2023.

The sport joins four others—baseball/softball, flag football, lacrosse (sixes), and squash—as new additions to the LA 2028 program. Squash, another discipline drawing Indian attention, will hold its medal events from July 23-24 at the Universal City Squash Center in Los Angeles.
