India’s cricket team is compromised
In the same way, rugby and cricket teams from different countries are waiting for a final decision. Let’s remember that this new variant has been detected in Hong Kong, Israel and even Belgium.
The European Union and The United States already announced the suspension of flights to and from the South African region. Days later, other countries took the same decision to avoid major issues and we can see how the flight restrictions are coming back.
In cricket’s case, India’s team had scheduled a tour of South Africa for December.
This tour is compromised at the moment, but it hasn’t been canceled yet. The team is waiting for a government announcement to be able to travel overseas.
In total, India’s cricket team would play in South Africa from December 17th to January 26th. Of course, the full squad expects to land on African soil at least a week before as usual.
Further, the Board of Control for Cricket in India said that they are in close contact with South African representatives to ensure a safe environment for players and keep the tour as scheduled.
