    Health of players is of paramount importance: Jacques Faul

  • "Proteas would not have been able to prepare properly taking our own lockdown situation into account and, more importantly, health considerations for our players, which are always paramount, were the over-riding factor," Jacques Faul said in a statement.

  • Schedule

    The tour will likely be rescheduled soon

  • While the tour has been postponed indefinitely, Faul revealed that it would be rescheduled at a later stage if their international calendar could accommodate it.

    "It is very sad that we have been forced to take this step and we will re-schedule the tour as soon as cricket returns to a sense of normality and our international fixture list allows," Faul said.

    South Africa are due to tour West Indies this year

  • Following the postponement of Sri Lanka white-ball leg, South Africa will be aiming for the West Indies tour.

    West Indies are set to host them for two tests and five T20Is in July and August this year.

    The T20I series will be a lead-up to the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia, which is scheduled to commence from October 18.

  • Impact

    The fate of next few bilateral series looks bleak

  • The coronavirus pandemic has led to cancelation of quite a few bilateral series and tournaments.

    Australia's test tour of Bangladesh has been called-off.

    Also, ECB is unlikely to host West Indies for three-match Test series in June.

    Meanwhile, the BCCI has postponed the impending season of Indian Premier League indefinitely.

    The threat of cancelation now lies on the high-profile T20 World Cup.
