India-South Africa ODI series to be re-scheduled

Amid the growing coronavirus scare, the remainder matches of the India vs South Africa series has been re-scheduled, with the revised dates yet to be announced.

The series opener in Dharmashala was washed out. Following that, the BCCI had decided to organise the match in Lucknow and Kolkata behind closed doors.

“Our view is that this decision is both necessary and a precaution that had to be taken in the interest of cricket and the sustainability of the game. We are monitoring the situation with the virus and are in constant consultation with medical and virology experts. We will apply our minds to the input of experts and act in a way that reflects our duty of caring for our players”, CSA Chief Executive Officer, Dr Jacques Faul.
