Srinagar, May 21: India and South Africa are set to play three-match T20I series in August, ESPNCricinfo reported earlier today.
There were deliberations whether the series will go ahead or not, owing to the coronavirus pandemic threat. However, the two boards have agreed to make the tour possible, given the authorities allow them.
“South Africa and India have agreed to play three T20Is in South Africa at the end of August, provided government regulations on both sides allow the fixtures to go ahead.” An ESPNCricinfo report said.
“The series, which is not part of the Future Tours Programme, was negotiated by Cricket South Africa’s director of cricket Graeme Smith and BCCI president Sourav Ganguly during a CSA executive trip to India in February, and finalised via teleconference yesterday as both boards consider ways to get their teams back on the park.”
