Good to see Bangladesh getting a proper all-format tour. They are a competitive side now, especially in white-ball cricket. The SA pace attack vs their batters will be interesting. Hope the matches are competitive and not one-sided.

The schedule looks packed, but I have a respectful criticism. So much cricket! Players will be exhausted. Also, why are both Bloemfontein ODIs against England at the same venue? Could have spread it to other cities. Otherwise, fantastic for fans.

Wow, planning for 2026 already! That's some forward thinking. The Test series against Australia so soon after the WTC final will have so much context and spice. Can't wait to watch from here. Hope the timings are good for Asian viewers.

Newlands, Wanderers, Centurion... such iconic grounds! 🏏 As an Indian, I love watching Tests in South Africa. The pitches offer a great contest between bat and ball. Hope the Indian team gets a similar lengthy tour there soon. The Proteas are defending champs now, so every series will be high-stakes.

Good schedule, but where is India? We are the biggest draw in world cricket. Hope CSA and BCCI are working on a bilateral series for that season or the next. An India-SA series, especially Tests, is always a classic. The rivalry is unmatched.
