Green light for Proteas vs India tour from CSA

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has confirmed that the India Tour will continue as originally scheduled, with a few adjustment to the logistical arrangements, such as the arrival time of the India team. 

In a statement issued on Saturday, CSA said: "Pursuant to a very cordial relationship between the Board of Cricket South Africa and the Board of Cricket Commission of India, the tour is now confirmed and the arrival timings of the India team will be moved out by a week, to allow for effective logistical planning."

India will play three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Tests against the Proteas. 

However, the four scheduled T20 Matches will be rescheduled in the new year, as part of the joint MoU.

"CSA is also pleased to confirm that the allocation of match venues will still be in respect of the Bubble Safe Environment (BSEs) and therefore the decision on the allocations will take into account the need for safer playing environments" the statement continued.

"CSA has instituted these world-class standards and measures to ensure that all players, staff and officials are protected within this environment. CSA’s main focus is to safeguard the cricket biosphere by managing strict entry standards and limited movement outside of its cordon." 

CSA said it would confirm the venues for the matches in the next 48 hours.
