Cricket South Africa and the England & Wales Cricket Board have announced the postponement of the first One Day International originally scheduled for today at Newlands in Cape Town.
This decision stems from a Proteas player testing positive for COVID-19 after both teams' latest round of scheduled testing, which was performed yesterday.
CSA says in a statement that in the interests of the safety and well-being of all involved, the opening fixture will now be played at Boland Park in Paarl this Sunday.
The 2nd and 3rd matches in the three match series will be played at Newlands on Monday and Wednesday next week.
The amended tour dates are as follows:
Sunday, 06 December 2020 – 1st Betway ODI, Eurolux Boland Park, Paarl (Day Match)
Monday, 07 December 2020 – 2nd Betway ODI, Six Gun Grill Newlands, Cape Town (Day-night Match)
Wednesday, 09 December 2020 – 3rd Betway ODI, Six Gun Grill Newlands, Cape Town (Day-night Match)
