South African cricket team in New Zealand in 1963–64

The South Africa national cricket team toured New Zealand in February and March 1964 and played a three-match Test series against the New Zealand national cricket team. All three matches were drawn. The South Africans had just played a five-Test series in Australia.

South African team

Kelly Seymour, who had been with the team in Australia, returned to South Africa before the New Zealand leg of the tour to study for his medical exams. Graeme Pollock and Clive Halse were suffering from injuries, and Peter Carlstein returned to South Africa during the First Test when he received news that his wife and three of their four children had been killed in a car crash.^[1] For much of the tour only eleven players were available to play.

The manager was Ken Viljoen.
