Cricket South Africa adds T20I series to India women's tour
Cricket is a sport played between teams from different countries.
The women's cricket team from India is planning to visit South Africa to play some matches.
First, they will play one very long match called a Test, from December 9 to 12.
Then they will play three shorter matches called One Day Internationals, from December 16 to 22.
At first, that was the whole plan for the trip.
But now, South Africa's cricket leaders have decided to add three more short matches called T20Is.
Those extra matches will be played from December 26 to 30.
They will happen in two South African cities called Benoni and Potchefstroom.
The extra games will help both teams practice before a new tournament called the Women's Champions Trophy.
That tournament will be held in Sri Lanka in February.
Cricket South Africa revised India's tour schedule to add a three-match T20I series.
The tour already includes a one-off Test match and a three-match ODI series.
The Test will be played December 9-12, followed by the ODI series from December 16-22.
The new T20I series will be played December 26-30 at Benoni and Potchefstroom.
The added matches are meant to prepare both sides for the inaugural Women's Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka in February.
