The New Zealand cricket team toured South Africa from 14 to 26 August 2015. The tour consisted of three One Day International and two Twenty20 International matches.[1] [2] In June Brendon McCullum was named as the captain for New Zealand on this tour.[3] However, in July, it was announced that McCullum had been rested for this tour and the tour to Zimbabwe, being replaced by Kane Williamson.[4]

South Africa won the ODI series 2–1 and the T20I series was drawn 1–1.

Squads

1 Ross Taylor was injured in training the day before the 3rd ODI against Zimbabwe and was ruled out of the rest of New Zealand's tour in Africa.[6] Faf du Plessis was injured for the T20I series, so AB de Villiers captained South Africa.[7] The injury ruled out du Plessis for the ODI and T20I series. Farhaan Behardien and Dean Elgar were added to the squad.[8]
