The West Indies men's cricket team toured South Africa in February and March 2023 to play two Test matches, three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[2] [3] The Test matches formed part of the 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship.[4] [5] Cricket South Africa (CSA) confirmed the fixtures for the tour in October 2022.[6]

South Africa won the Test series 2–0.[7] The ODI series drew (1–1) between the two sides with the first game being abandoned due to rain.[8] West Indies won the T20I series 2–1.[9]

Squads

On 6 March 2023, Anrich Nortje was ruled out of second test due to mild groin discomfort.[16]

Initially, Aiden Markram, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller and Wayne Parnell were selected only for the third match in South Africa's ODI squad.[17] However on 13 March 2023, Parnell added to the squad for first two ODIs as an injury replacement for Wiaan Mulder,[18] while Tabraiz Shamsi replaced injured Keshav Maharaj in South Africa's ODI squad.[19] Temba Bavuma was ruled out of third ODI due to hamstring discomfort,[20] with Aiden Markram captained South Africa in his absence.[21]

On 14 March 2023, Obed McCoy was ruled out from the West Indies' T20I squad due to knee injury,[22] and was replaced by Roston Chase.[23]
