Australia draws Proteas ire

Australia’s decision to pull out of next month’s three-test tour in South Africa due to the COVID-19 pandemic is “extremely disappointing” considering the hosts had put in place a number of safety measures, Cricket South Africa said yesterday. “It has become clear that travelling from Australia to South Africa at this current time poses an unacceptable level of health and safety risk to our players, support staff and the community,” Cricket Australia’s interim chief executive Nick Hockley said in a statement. No dates were given on when the tour might take place. But CSA Director of Cricket Graeme Smith believes the Australian concerns are unfounded. “We are extremely disappointed by the decision of CA,” Smith said in a statement. “CSA has been working tirelessly in recent weeks to ensure that we meet every single expectation of CA. So to be informed about the CA decision at the eleventh hour is frustrating.”
