Cricket South Africa<\/strong> (CSA) on Monday confirmed the forthcoming tours for the South Africa u19 men’s and women’s teams for the 2024\/25 season in preparation for future ICC age-group tournaments.<\/p>\n

The SA u19 women<\/strong> will start their summer of cricket with a Youth T20 International (T20I) series against Ireland u19<\/strong> in Tshwane from 28 October to 1 November.<\/p>\n

The five-match series will be held at the Groenkloof Oval<\/strong> in the capital city and will serve as preparation for the ICC u19 Women’s T20 World Cup 2025, which will be held in Thailand and Malaysia.<\/p>\n

The SA u19 men<\/strong> will face England u19 in a multi-format tour from 17 January to 6 February in the Western Cape.<\/p>\n

The three-match Youth One-Day Internationals (ODI) series features matches at the Western Province Cricket Club<\/strong> in Cape Town on 17 and 19 January and wraps up on 22 January at Paul Roos Gimnasium<\/strong> in Stellenbosch.<\/p>\n

A two-match Youth Test series, running from 27 January to 6 February, with matches taking place at the\u00a0Coetzenburg Cricket Club<\/strong> in Stellenbosch and the Western Province Cricket Club in Cape Town, will bring the tour to its conclusion.<\/p>\n

A 50-over warm-up match for the tourists has also been scheduled, with Western Province’s<\/strong> junior side taking on England on 14 January in Cape Town.<\/p>\n

CSA Head of High Performance, Grant van Velden<\/strong> commented:\u00a0“Competitive international cricket is invaluable for the growth of both our SA u19 women’s and men’s teams. These tours are crucial stepping stones as we prepare for the ICC u19 Women’s T20 World Cup and the ICC u19 Men’s Cricket World Cup over the next 18 months.<\/p>\n

“Hosting youth international cricket in South Africa not only provides our young cricketers with vital match experience but also showcases the exceptional talent we have in our country. It’s an opportunity to inspire the next generation of players and fans.<\/p>\n

“We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Ireland and England cricket boards for their collaboration in making these tours a reality. Their cooperation is instrumental in providing our teams with the high-level competition needed to excel on the world stage,” he said.<\/p>\n
