South Africa vs England series in trouble as first ODI abandoned after Covid scare
The first ODI between South Africa and England has been abandoned after two members of the hotel staff tested positive on Saturday.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Cricket South Africa (CSA) after agreeing to delay the start time in Paarl, earlier, finally took the call to do away with the fixture altogether.
An official statement from ECB had previously confirmed that England players awaited coronavirus test results.
“The England players and management underwent an additional round of PCR tests on Saturday evening, after two members of the hotel staff testing positive for COVID-19,” read the release. (SportsStar)
