Mumbai:South Africa's cricket team arrived in India on Saturday to play two tests and three one-day internationals against
the host country. The Proteas, who arrived at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International
Airport in Mumbai late on Saturday night, will take on India, the world's number
one ranked test nation, after facing a tumultuous week back home, during which
coach Mickey Arthur resigned due to differences with the South African cricket
board and the selection committee was sacked and replaced by an interim one. Former
South African fast bowler Corrie van Zyl is the interim team coach. South Africa
will play a two-day warm-up match against an Indian Board President's XI in Nagpur
from Tuesday. The first test begins in the same city on Feb. 6. The second test
will be played in Kolkata from February 14-18.
