The South African national cricket team are scheduled to tour Australia in December 2022 and January 2023 for the first time since 2008-09 to play three Test matches and three ODIs.^[1] In May 2022, Cricket Australia confirmed the fixtures for the tour.^[2] The Test matches will form part of the 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship and the ODI series would have formed part of the inaugural 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.^[3]^[4]

In July 2022, South Africa withdrew from the three-match ODI series against Australia, after the fixtures clashed with their new domestic T20 league.^[5] The Super League points for the three matches were awarded to Australia, subject to approval by ICC.^[6] Later, the matches were scratched with the points being awarded to Australia.^[7]^[8]
