South Africa's reshuffled lead-up to the Australia Test series will include another match with a one-day fixture against Western Australia planned for December 11. The tourists' two-day contest against the Warriors has also been brought forward by a day and will start on the 12th.

The gap has been created by the postponement of the Champions League Twenty20 due to the terrorist attacks in Mumbai. Western Australia was one of two teams from Australia that qualified for the tournament, which also included sides from South Africa, India, England and Pakistan.

Perth will host the first Test in the three-match South Africa series from December 17. Australia is coming off a comfortable win over New Zealand while South Africa beat Bangladesh.
