- The Proteas women will host Pakistan in three ODIs and three T20s in January 2021.
- It will be Dane van Niekerkerk's side first international game since their T20 World Cup semi-final loss in March.
- All six matches will be played in KwaZulu-Natal - three at Kingsmead and three at the Pietermaritzburg Oval.
Cricket South Africa (CSA) confirmed that the Proteas women will return to international cricket after a coronavirus-forced hiatus with the arrival of Pakistan in January 2021.
The Proteas women will play their first game since their T20 World Cup semi-final loss to Australia.
CSA on Monday revealed that the month-long tour of Pakistan will consist of 3 ODIs and 3 T20s in the KwaZulu-Natal province.
The tour will be held under a bio-safe controlled environment.
"CSA has pitched these to the government through the Ministry of Sports, Arts and Culture and have been given the green light," read their statement.
The tour will begin with a warm-up match at Durban's Chartsworth Oval on 16 January against the South African Emerging squad before the ODI series commences at Kingsmead.
The series-opener will be followed by two ODI matches on 23 January and 26 January at Kingsmead and Pietermaritzburg Oval respectively.
Three T20 Internationals will then follow in umGungundlovu (29 and 31 January 2021) with the last fixture taking place in Durban's Kingsmead grounds on the 3 February.
While the men's Proteas have made a welcome return to international cricket, CSA Director of Cricket Graeme Smith is confident the Proteas women's home series against Pakistan will be "successful".
"We are thrilled as Cricket South Africa to be making this announcement that our Momentum Proteas are heading back to playing competitive cricket again, given the uncertainty and difficulties over the past six months," Smith said.
"Hosting this tour of Pakistan women is incredibly important to us as this will give our Protea women much needed game time and also bring in revenue that funds the entire game of cricket especially during these difficult times. We enjoy a very good working relationship with the Pakistan Cricket board and we look forward to hosting their ladies side in what promises to be an exciting tour in the new year," he added.
All the ODI matches will be broadcasted live on SuperSport.
