The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to request Cricket South Africa (CSA) to postpone the Indian team’s tour to the African nation, according to a TOI report. The cricketing activities have once again be affected after the detection of the new Covid-19 variant.
“We might request CSA to postpone the series by a week and and will then declare the schedule,” top BCCI sources said on Thursday
The Indian team is scheduled to travel to South Africa for three Tests, three ODIs and four T20Is between December and January. Though, there is no official announcement of the postponement of the tour.
The Indian team is presently playing the Test series against New Zealand at home. The first game of the two-match series in Kanpur ended in a draw while the second is slated to begin on Friday.
India Test and ODI skipper Virat Kohli will be back in action after he was rested from the T20Is and the first Test against the Kiwis.
