India Today
The new COVID variant, which the WHO named Omicron, has put India's tour of South Africa in limbo with the BCCI insisting that any decision on the fate of the series will be taken based on the government’s advice.
Former South African all-rounder Farhan Behardien hopes to see India tour his country next month despite growing concerns regarding the Nu SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.1529 variant which has put the upcoming cricket contest in doubt. I hope the biggest cricket nation in the world tours our country next month!! The future generation of South African players need it more than ever!! #India Its not the ‘South African’ variant, it was detected here among other places in the world. In the famous words of Martin Van Jaarsveld, the great Titans player, WAKE UP!!! #OmicronVariant
India are scheduled to tour South Africa for 3 Tests, as many ODIs and 4 T20Is between December 17 and January 26. The senior national men's team was set to depart for the Rainbow Nation right after the completion of the ongoing 2-Test series against New Zealand at home.
