Cricket South Africa postpones round 4 of Division 2 matches due to rise in COVID-19 cases

Sport in South Africa began to shut down last week following the emergence of the Omicron new coronavirus variant, with travel bans and restrictions on flights.

Cricket South Africa has postponed the latest round of matches in division two of the country’s four-day provincial competition after a number of COVID-19 cases, the move coming just two weeks before the start of a three-Test series with India.

The provincial sides involved have not been staying in bio-secure environments ahead of the three matches that were scheduled to start on Thursday.
