The BCCI and Cricket South Africa have mutually agreed that the upcoming Test and ODI series between the two teams will continue even if there is any COVID-19 case among players or support staff and close contacts will not be forced into isolation, the host board’s medical officer Shuaib Manjra has said.


India will start their three-match Test series against the Proteas on December 26 at Centurion. The Tests will be followed by three ODIs on January 19, 21 and 23. “Considering that everyone within the Bio-Secure Environments’ (BSE) and the broader cricket ecosystem will be vaccinated, any positive case will isolate within their designated hotel room if clinically stable, or an alternate space within the hotel,” Manjra’s said.
