The Proteas will resume their rivalry against their Australian counterparts in a three match test series followed by three Twenty20 internationals. The six matches will start this month and end on 14 March.
The Proteas will host the Australians following their 1-0 test series win against India on home soil, while Australia completed a onesided 5-0 triumph over England in the Ashes recently.
Following their win over England, Australian opening batsmen David Warner reportedly told reporters that the South African batting line up will be ripe for the picking following the retirement of top batsman Jacques Kallis. Warner’s comments could be seen as a statement of intent and makes for an interesting series.
