The first ODI betwe♛en South Africa and England, that was postponed due to a Proteas player testing Covid-19 positive, will be play𓂃ed on December 6 after the entire South African contingent returned negative test results. The ODI was originally scheduled for Friday, but will now be played on Sunday.

In what comes as a huge relief for CSA, ECB and all the players invo𒈔lved, Cricket South Africa have confirmed that the first ODI between South Africa and England will be played ൩on Sunday, December 6, after the entire South African contingent returned negative test results for Covid-19. The game was originally scheduled to be played on Friday, December 4, but a South African player testing positive for Covid-19 hours before the match commenced meant that the contest had to be aborted and rescheduled at a later date.

Despite CSA assuring otherwise, many feared that the positive case could lead to several more infections, but it was confirmed earlier today that all the other🍌 players and staff in the South African camp tested negative in the latest round of tests.

"Cricket South Africa is pleased to announce that the entire Proteas team has returned negative results from the COVID-19 tests that were conducted yesterday evenin꧅g in Cape Town,” a release from CSA stated.

CSA did not disclose the name of the player who tested positive, the third South African player to have caught the virus after two players were earlier pulled out of the T20I squads prior to the commencement of the tour due to them returning positive results. The ECB have expres🐟sed their concerns over the dire situation, but the clean chit provided by the latest round of testing could see the series go ahead without any further roadblocks.
