Proteas will be in best possible shape for postponed T20WorldCup - OfficialCSA
The likelihood of the Proteas’ tour to the West Indies, which was originally scheduled for the end of July, also now seems highly unlikely.
The Windies are currently engaged in a three-Test Wisden Trophy series against England with the third Test of that series starting on July 24 in Manchester‚ which would have been the second day of the first Test between the Proteas and the hosts in Trinidad and Tobago. A select of group of only 24 South African players returned to action for the first time last Saturday when they participated in a unique 3TC event at SuperSport Park after cricket, as a non-contact sport‚ was granted a return to play and a training dispensation by the Department of Sport‚ Arts & Culture under the Level 3 lockdown regulations.
Despite the expected postponements which will most likely include a potentially lucrative incoming Indian tour in August, Faul remains optimistic. “A number of series for both our Proteas Men and Momentum Women have to be postponed because of Covid-19, but I would like to assure all our stakeholders that we are planning for an exciting future both at international and domestic level,” he said.Furthermore, the ICC CC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 will be held October – November 2022 with the final on 13 November, while the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 will be held in India October – November 2023 with the final on 26 November 2023.
