International cricket tour
The Australia national cricket team toured South Africa in September and October 2016 playing a series of five One Day Internationals (ODIs) against the hosts and a solitary ODI against Ireland.[ 1] The Western Province Cricket Association (WPCA) raised concerns with Cricket South Africa (CSA) about the fifth ODI being held on Yom Kippur . The fixture went ahead as planned, but the WPCA asked that matches do not clash with religious days in the future.[ 2]
South Africa won the series against Australia 5–0, the first time that Australia had lost all five matches in a five-match ODI series.[ 3]
