South Africa host India in a three-test series beginning on Sunday in Centurion. The teams are also scheduled to play three one-day internationals starting from Jan. 19. South Africa's upcoming home cricket series against India will be played without spectators due to a wave of COVID-19 infections, Cricket South Africa (CSA) said on Monday. The South African board said in a statement that the decision to play behind closed doors had been taken jointly with the Indian cricket board (BCCI). South Africa reported a record number of daily COVID-19 infections last week in a fourth wave believed to be largely caused by the Omicron variant.
