There would have no issues with the tour and it would have been a smooth run. However, the arrival of the deadly Omicron Virus which originated from Africa region. Thereby, players need to have strict bio bubble and more quarantine period, which eventually lead to reschedulling of the tournamnet.
“BCCI has confirmed CSA that the Indian team will travel for three Tests and three ODIs. The remaining four T20Is will be played at a later date,” Shah told ANI.
The matches are likely to be held behind closed doors but for Cricket South Africa, their financial health depends on the India team’s visit as multi-million dollar TV rights are at stake.
