The abandonment follows a fresh round of testing after two hotel workers in the bio-secure environment in which both teams are staying returned positive results. "We remain in constant dialogue with Cricket South Africa and will continue to work closely with them to determine how best to move forward." South Africa's director of cricket Graeme Smith said they hope the final two matches could be played. The unconfirmed positive results take to seven the number of COVID-19 related incidents on the six-match white-ball tour, two of which occurred in the South Africa camp before the series started. It would be a huge blow for cash-strapped Cricket South Africa if the rest of the tour were to be cancelled and place into doubt future visits by Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Australia in the next few months.
