England Women to meet SA in cricket Test

England Women will host South Africa in a Test match for the first time in almost 20 years in June before ending a busy domestic summer with an ODI series against India.

The Proteas will tour England from June to July, competing in a multi-format series which will begin with a one-off Test match - South Africa's first four-day fixture since they faced India in 2014.

The last time England and South Africa met in a Test was 2003, when they played two matches in the UK, with the hosts winning the series 1-0.

This summer's schedule will kick off with the Test at Taunton beginning on June 27, followed by three ODIs and three T20s, the last of which is scheduled to take place on July 18.

After the culmination of the Commonwealth Games and The Hundred, India will visit for a second summer in a row for three T20s and three ODIs, the last of which will be at Lord's on September 24.

"We are thrilled to be able to announce a compelling summer of international women's cricket against two of the best teams in the world, in what is a bumper year for the women's game," managing director of women's cricket Clare Connor said.

"With the second edition of The Hundred and the historic opportunity to participate in the Commonwealth Games on home soil, we're looking forward to seeing our players thrive on the biggest stages."

England are currently preparing for the World Cup in New Zealand after losing the Ashes to Australia earlier in the month.
