The South African national cricket team toured Australia in December 2022 and January 2023 to play three Test matches.[1] The Test matches formed part of the 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship.[2]

In May 2022, Cricket Australia confirmed the fixtures for the tour,[3] with three-match ODI series was scheduled to be played just after the test series.[4] However, in July 2022, South Africa withdrew from the ODI series, after the fixtures clashed with their new domestic T20 league.[5] The ODI series would have formed part of the inaugural 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.[6] The Super League points for the three matches were awarded to Australia, subject to approval by ICC.[7] Later, the matches were scratched with the points being awarded to Australia.[8] [9]

The Gabba was sanctioned by the ICC, receiving a "below average" rating and one demerit point from match referee Richie Richardson, after the first Test was over within two days.[10]

Squads

On 22 November 2022, Glenton Stuurman was ruled out of South Africa's Test team due to an injury and was replaced by Lizaad Williams[13] After the first Test, Josh Hazlewood replaced Michael Neser in Australia's squad.[14] After the second test, Ashton Agar and Matt Renshaw replaced Cameron Green and Mitchell Starc as injury replacements.[15] South Africa's Theunis de Bruyn was ruled out of third Test, since he returned home for the birth of his first child.[16]
