BCCI in talks with CSA for four to six ODIs ahead of 2027 World Cup

The BCCI wants four to six ODIs against South Africa before the 2027 World Cup. India's team management pushed for the matches, saying they need practice on the pitches they'll face in the tournament across South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.

The series would sit in the build-up window. CSA hasn't cleared the dates yet.

A decision will come after the BCCI's review meeting in Mumbai this week.
