Australian players were scheduled to fly out this month for a three-Test series in March. — AFP/File Australia's cricket tour of South Africa has been postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Cricket Australia said in a statement on Tuesday. Australian players were scheduled to fly out this month for a three-Test series in March, but the touring side's cricket board said it had no choice but to postpone the trip due to the South African epidemic. “It has become clear that travelling from Australia to South Africa at this current time poses an unacceptable level of health and safety risk to our players, support staff and the community,” CA's interim Chief Executive Nick Hockley said in a statement.
