South Africa head coach Shukri Conrad is excited about the opportunity to host Australia for a three-match ICC World Test Championship series, with the reigning champions set to face the No.1-ranked Test side, from 9 October.
The series brings together the two sides that contested the 2025 WTC Final, where South Africa defeated Australia by five wickets at Lord’s, thanks to Aiden Markram’s 136 and Kagiso Rabada’s nine wickets.
With the two sides meeting again in the current WTC cycle, Conrad is particularly excited by the prospect of facing Australia on home soil for the first time since 2018.
“Any series against Australia is worth looking forward to, and more particularly because it’s at home,” Conrad told ICC.
