Cricket South Africa (CSA) has decided to pull out from the One-day International series against Australia in January next year as the three-match fixture is reportedly clashing with their new franchise T20 league.

CSA had earlier asked Cricket Australia (CA) to "reconsider the dates" of the three games originally scheduled between January 12-17, but Australia's cricket governing body announced on Wednesday that they had been unable to find alternative dates to reschedule the series, according to cricket.com.au.
