Announcing this Cricket South Africa said it will be Proteas first bilateral tour to the Caribbean since 2010, followed by a tri-series in 2016 that also featured Australia.
This tour, which had to be rescheduled from 2020, will include two Test matches and five T20s, from June 10 to July 3 in St Lucia at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground and Grenada at the National Cricket Stadium, respectively.
