The three-match ODI series between South Africa and the Netherlands has been postponed.

“We are disappointed by the unfortunate situation we find ourselves in, but the comfort of all visiting teams must always be paramount,” said CSA acting CEO Pholetsi Moseki.

“The mental wellbeing of players is one of CSA’s top priorities, and we respect our visitors’ position and point of view. “CSA and KNCB will get into discussions around possibly rescheduling the tour within this cycle of the ICC Future Tours Programme ending in 2023.”“We are saddened by these circumstances, but are grateful to Cricket SA for their assistance and understanding of our team’s position. It must be made clear that the concerns are strictly over travel issues and how soon the team can get home, and have nothing to do with the integrity of the biosecure environment that CSA has successfully hosted.

“Our team has been pleased with every aspect of the organisation of the tour and have been well treated by our hosts. We have been looking forward to this series against the Proteas for some time and are keen on returning to SA in the near future.” The Netherlands team will remain in the BSE hotel until their return flights have been finalised with the support of key CSA BSE staff.
