But England remain 'hopeful' they will be able to leave on January 2 for their two-week spell in quarantine in Hambantota in the south of Sri Lanka, before moving to Galle. Kallis, who was among the South Africa coaching staff when England toured this time last year, will only be on board for the Sri Lanka trip.
