Extra game for Proteas
South Africa will play an additional one-day match against Western Australia as part of their build-up for the first Test.
The postponed Champions League Twenty20 tournament allowed the match to be added to the Proteas' schedule.
The 50-over clash will be played on December 11, with a two-day match between South Africa and a WA XI brought forward a day to begin on December 12.
The first Test begins at the WACA on December 17.
Western Australian Cricket Association CEO Graeme Wood said the Proteas were keen to get in as much match practice at the WACA as possible before the Perth Test.
"The Proteas will have a full squad to pick from, so it will hopefully be a fantastic opportunity for Perth cricket fans to have their first glimpse of speedsters Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel on the WACA Ground wicket," he said.
