(Reuters) - South Africa will play a four-day pink ball test against neighbours Zimbabwe in Port Elizabeth as the traditional Boxing Day fixture before India arrive for a tour in late December, Cricket South Africa has announced. "The extensive revamping of our international grounds are on schedule and the day-night test match promises to be a world-class experience for the players and fans." CSA also announced the broad itinerary for the tour by India, who will play three tests, six one-day internationals and three Twenty20s against their hosts. "The time constraints faced by India have forced us to reduce the test matches to three while increasing white ball cricket to six ODIs and three T20I matches," Lorgat added. India will arrive in South Africa on Dec. 28 and play a two day warm-up match at Boland Park in Paarl on the last two days of the year.
