- South Africa announce positive Covid-19 test for player
- Tour hinges on results of testing on Saturday morning
England’s tour of South Africa is in jeopardy and now hinges on a fresh round of Covid-19 test results on Saturday morning after the latest positive case among the home team that saw the first one-day international at Newlands called off.
Eoin Morgan’s players arrived at the ground on Friday ready to warm up for the series opener only to be told 90 minutes before the toss that it was postponed and they must return to the team hotel. It was South Africa’s third positive result since the tour began and, as before, the identity of the player has not been disclosed publicly.
