The Sri Lanka cricket team toured South Africa in December 2020 and January 2021 to play two Test matches.[1][2] The Test series formed part of the inaugural 2019–2021 ICC World Test Championship.[3][4] Ahead of the tour, Quinton de Kock was named as the Test captain of South Africa's side.[5]

In December 2020, South Africa's One Day International (ODI) against England was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] As a result, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) did look at the possibility of playing the series in Sri Lanka, or withdrawing from touring South Africa.[7] However, after discussions between both cricket boards, Sri Lanka Cricket's medical staff said they were pleased with the bio-security arrangements.[8]

South Africa won the first Test by an innings and 45 runs,[9] with Faf du Plessis scoring a career-best 199 runs.[10] South Africa won the second Test by ten wickets winning the series 2–0.[11]

Angelo Mathews was ruled out of Sri Lanka's squad after suffering an injury during the semi-finals of the 2020 Lanka Premier League tournament.[14] On 16 December 2020, Migael Pretorius was added to South Africa's Test squad.[15] Two days later, Dwaine Pretorius, Raynard van Tonder and Lutho Sipamla were also added to South Africa's squad.[16] On 22 December 2020, Beuran Hendricks and Keegan Petersen were withdrawn from South Africa's squad, after both players tested positive for COVID-19.[17] On the first day of the first Test, Dhananjaya de Silva suffered a grade two tear in left thigh, and was ruled out of Sri Lanka's squad for the rest of the tour.[18] On 28 December 2020, Kagiso Rabada was added to South Africa's squad for the second Test.[19] Two days later, Beuran Hendricks was reinstated to South Africa's squad for the second Test,[20] with Migael Pretorius being released due to a shoulder injury.[21]
