Two England Players Tested Positive for Covid-19
Two members of the England squad had tested positive for Covid-19 before the England camp decided to call off the tour on 7 December and return home. The teams were scheduled to play six white-ball games in all, consisting of three T20Is and three ODIs. After the T20I series had been completed, the three ODIs were postponed. England called the Covid-19 protocols of CSA into question. But Yacoob would have none of it. Speaking to media outlets in a virtual conference on 10 December, the CSA Board chairman said that he denied the idea that CSA’s provision of services was not up to the mark. He added that the England camp was not justified in their not wanting to participate.
