England’s white-ball tour of South Africa will go ahead next month after government ministers gave the two series the green light.
Sportsmail reported last week that they were privately in favour and Cricket South Africa have confirmed three Twenty20 and three 50-over internationals will take place between November 27 and December 9.
Two of the T20s will be played at Newlands, with the other at Paarl, while the 50-over matches will see the reverse split.

England toured South Africa earlier in 2020 and will do so again in Paarl and Cape Town
Confirmation of the tour had been delayed because of a power vacuum in South African cricket, with the board so far refusing to respond to the government’s demands that they step down because of incompetence and mismanagement.
But England are now due to arrive in South Africa in mid-November as part of Covid-19 protocols.
