The team bus for the South African cricket team is parked outside The Vineyard Hotel in Cape Town, South Africa. Photo / APEngland's ODI cricket series in South Africa was called off Monday after an outbreak of Covid-19 cases at the luxurious and supposedly bio-secure Cape Town hotel where both teams are staying. That first ODI was then canceled completely on Sunday after it was revealed that two hotel staff members had tested positive. Both the ECB and Cricket South Africa had said there was hope that the remaining two ODI games might be able to go ahead but that was ended with Monday's announcement. South Africa's failed bio-bubble might also have repercussions for future series, with Sri Lanka due to arrive late this year for a two-test series and Australia and Pakistan due to tour South Africa early next year.
