England and South Africa have postponed a T20 international series which was originally planned for next winter.
The two sides will play three Test matches and three one-day internationals across December 2026 and January 2027.
In addition to the ODIs the white-ball leg of the tour was supposed to include three T20s as per the International Cricket Council’s Future Tours Programme.
Cricket South Africa and the England and Wales Cricket Board are planning to rearrange the 20-over series to a later date.
South Africa’s domestic T20 franchise tournament – the SA20 – is set to be played from 9 January until 14 February 2027 and a number of players from both sides are expected to participate.
“The originally planned T20 series has been removed from the schedule due to scheduling conflicts,” said an ECB statement.
“Both parties are exploring opportunities to reschedule it at a later date.”
England’s Test series in South Africa starts on 17 December at the Wanderers in Johannesburg.
The second Test between the sides will start on 26 December at SuperSport Park at Centurion while the final Test at Newlands in Cape Town begins on 3 January.
The ODI series starts at Boland Park in Paarl on 10 January, with the final two matches of the series at the Manguang Oval in Bloemfontein on 13 and 15 January.
