The South Africa national cricket team, known as the Proteas after the country's national flower, the King Protea, represents South Africa in men's international cricket and is administered by Cricket South Africa. South Africa entered first-class and international cricket together when it hosted an England side in the 1888 to 1889 season. The team was banned by the International Cricket Council over the country's apartheid policy and was readmitted in 1991, after which it became one of the most successful sides in ODI cricket. It hosted the 2003 Cricket World Cup, has reached the semi-finals of the tournament four times without reaching the final, won the 1998 Champions Trophy and holds the 2023 to 2025 World Test Championship.
