Proteas set to tour New Zealand for two-match Test series in February 2024

The fixtures were confirmed by both country's boards with the first Test to take place at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui from 4 February.

The second Test is slated to start on 13 February at Seddon Park in Hamilton with the series forming part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle.

A three-day warm-up fixture is scheduled from 29 - 31 January in Christchurch in preparation for the series.

The teams last met in a Test series in 2022, when the Proteas came from behind to draw the two-Test series 1-1.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) CEO Pholetsi Moseki said: "The tour of New Zealand will be an excellent opportunity for the Proteas to test themselves away from home for the first time during the new cycle of the ICC WTC.

"This tour confirms CSA's commitment to honouring the ICC's Future Tours Programme (FTP), regardless of other competing and equally compelling engagements.

"It is an affirmation of our appetite for Test matches, which we always take delight in playing."
