The first ODI between South Africa and England has again been called off at short notice after two members of the touring party received "unconfirmed" positive tests for Covid-19. The abandonment casts fresh doubt on the feasibility of the series and could have major ramifications for CSA.

The three-match series was due to start in Cape Town on Friday, but was postponed less than an hour before the toss after a South Africa player tested positive for Covid-19.

CSA and the ECB released a joint statement 30 minutes before the scheduled toss in Paarl on Sunday morning, confirming that the game's start time had been delayed. Two positives cases had been recorded among staff at the Vineyard Hotel, where both teams are staying, and England were re-tested on Saturday evening as a result.
