The India vs. South Africa T20I match, initially scheduled for December 11, 2025, at Nagpur’s Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) Stadium, has been relocated to New Chandigarh. This change is part of the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) recently announced 2025 home season schedule.  

The updated itinerary for South Africa’s tour of India is as follows:

Test Series:

• 1st Test: November 14–18, Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi 

• 2nd Test: November 22–26, Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati 

ODI Series:

• 1st ODI: November 30, JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi

The relocation of the December 11 T20I from Nagpur to New Chandigarh has disappointed many cricket enthusiasts in Nagpur who were eagerly anticipating the match. The BCCI has not provided specific reasons for this venue change.  

This adjustment is part of a broader schedule that includes hosting the West Indies for a two-match Test series in October 2025, followed by South Africa’s tour encompassing Tests, ODIs, and T20Is. Notably, Guwahati is set to host its maiden Test match during this season.  

Fans are advised to stay updated with the latest information from official BCCI announcements and the VCA regarding ticketing and other arrangements.
