"As our secretary, Jay Shah had said recently, we will have two national teams of equal strength available. So the three ODIs will be played at a time when the national team leaves for the World T20," a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity. 

"The ODI as per rotation was to come to Kolkata but it was during the time of Durga Puja and CAB won't be able to organize the police deployment during festival time. Hence one match has been allocated to Delhi," a BCCI source added.

Here is the schedule

T20Is vs Australia Sep 20: Mohali Sep 23: Nagpur Sep 25: Hyderabad 

South Africa T20Is Sep 28: Trivandrum Oct 1: Guwahati Oct 3: Indore
