Sophia Gardens will host two England men's internationals in 2025 with West Indies and South Africa visiting Cardiff.

West Indies will face England in a one-day international in Cardiff on Sunday, 1 June as part of their first white-ball series in England and Wales since 2017.

The Welsh capital will then play host to T20 World Cup finalists South Africa, who take on England on Wednesday, 10 September.��

It will be the Proteas' first match at Sophia Gardens since they beat England by 58 runs in front of a sold out crowd in Cardiff in July 2022.

“We always look forward to announcing our international fixtures each year and are proud to be hosting South Africa and West Indies in 2025.," said Glamorgan chief executive Dan Cherry.

“It will be fantastic to welcome the West Indies back to Sophia Gardens after eight years and will allow us to continue our excellent relationship which strengthened in the 1990s due to the great Viv Richards representing Glamorgan with great distinction."

He added: “South Africa have a team full of exciting white ball players and we have hosted a number of enthralling matches between these teams over recent years.  

"We look forward to another great spectacle and a full stadium next September.”  

Twelve England men’s games have been allocated to Glamorgan over the next seven years.

England women are also due to play five times at Sophia Gardens in that period, the first in 2026.
