Originally, the matches were scheduled to be played in October 2020.[5] However, in August 2020, the tour was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] The following month, it was confirmed that both cricket boards were looking for a window in the international calendar to play the matches.[7] In October 2020, Cricket South Africa announced that the tour had been rescheduled for April 2021.[8] In January 2021, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed that the tour was still on their schedule for the 2021 calendar year.[9]
