South Africa set for a possible tour of Pakistan in March

South Africa are considering a short tour of Pakistan to play three T20Is in late March after their ODI series concludes against India on March 18. 

The Proteas will likely send a security delegation to Pakistan next month, either during the Test against Bangladesh or during the PSL to assess security measures. 

Rory Steyn will lead the security delegation and will present his findings to CSA for consideration. The delegation wants to visit ongoing Pakistan matches in order to gain first-hand information on the logistics involved, including the team's hotel arrangements, transportation to the grounds and in-stadium experience. 

South Africa have not toured Pakistan since October 2007 but have played against them in UAE in 2010 and 2013.

The current future tours program has South Africa scheduled to visit Pakistan to play two Tests and three T20Is in January/February 2021. However, South Africa may be after some extra T20I fixtures ahead of the T20 World Cup later this year. 

The matches may also provide an opportunity for the reintegration of AB de Villiers into the T20I squad after indications that he was interested in making a comeback for the tournament. It is unclear when de Villiers will return to the national set-up but if he does, he will be required to play in some of South Africa's fixtures as they build towards the T20 World Cup.
