In the latest development, Cricket South Africa has refused the England and Wales cricket boards' (ECB) proposal to add an extra day to the 3rd Test at the Oval between the two nations.
The 2nd day of the Oval Test was suspended by the ECB following the unfortunate demise of 'Her majesty' Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, September.
On Friday, the ECB met with a host of government and officials of the other sporting bodies before announcing that all the fixtures will go ahead as per schedule from Saturday.
The ECB also held discussions with their Cricket South African counterparts to cajole them into adding another day to the Test match. However, CSA couldn't accede to the request citing logistic reasons.
As a result, the series-decider has now been reduced to a three-day affair, with 98 overs delivered daily.
