The 1942β43 South African cricket season saw only two
first-class games. South Africa was involved in the
Second World War and with the war came austerity and
cricket matches played for the
Currie Cup were considered too frivolous to be played in a country at war. There were only three first-class games played in South Africa during it. The two games played in 1942-43.
The matches
Air Force XI v Rest of South Africa (26β27 December)
Rest of South Africa beat Air Force XI by 5 wickets
Note: during the isolation of South Africa from international cricket between 1970 and 1991, there were seven unofficial tours (italicised below) by various teams, collectively known as the
South African rebel tours.
