After claiming a historic victory in the ICC World Test Championship this past weekend, the Proteas will return to South Africa on Wednesday, 18 June, at around 09:25 in the morning.
After years of trials and tribulations, South African cricket fans finally have a meaningful reason to celebrate, as the Proteas men return home with the coveted Test mace.
Following their triumphant victory on Saturday at Lord’s, CSA has stated that the Proteas are eager to give back to their supporters.

Cricket South Africa, together with Proteas coach Shukri Conrad and captain Temba Bavuma, have now extended an invitation to South Africans to unite and join them in celebrating this historic moment on Thursday, 19 June 2025, at Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton City from 13:00 to 15:00.
“Come and be part of the celebrations, meet your favourite Proteas players, and get a closer look at the coveted WTC mace,” a statement read. “Plus, the first 100 fans to arrive will receive an exclusive WTC Champions shirt.
“That’s not all – fans can look forward to exciting spot giveaways throughout the event. And for one lucky supporter, there’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to join the Proteas on stage for a champion’s photo opportunity.”
