“The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) along with Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Friday announced to reschedule the ongoing ODI series in view of the Novel Corona Virus (COVID-19) outbreak. Cricket South Africa will visit India at a later date to play 3 One-day Internationals. The BCCI-CSA will jointly work out the revised schedule,” BCCI informed through an official mail.

The decision comes after the board also decided to postpone the start of the Indian Premier League to April 15, amid the growing threat of coronavirus pandemic. The first ODI in Dharamsala was abandoned due to rain without even the toss taking place. The second match of the series was scheduled to be played at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday and the final match was to be played at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday

Women’s T20 World Cup Semi-Final : India Enter Maiden Final

Rain Washes Out Semi-Final

The Indian women’s cricket team entered their maiden T20 World Cup final on Thursday after rain washed out the semi-final clash against England in Sydney. There was no reserve day for the semis in the ongoing tournament and Cricket Australia’s request for a reserve day was declined by the International Cricket Council on Wednesday. India booked a place in the final as they finished their group on top with four wins out of four games. The last time these two sided met in this competition, India had lost to England by eight wickets. India will now face the winner of the second semi-final that will be played between South Africa and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground. In case of another washout, South Africa will qualify on the virtue of most wins in their group.

Airports in India set for coronavirus screening

All international passengers entering India will be screened at airports for the novel coronavirus outbreak (Covid-19), the government announced on Wednesday.

The decision came on the day India reported a sharp rise in infections — from six on Tuesday to 29 on Wednesday. Three of them — all in Kerala — have recovered.

“There have been cases in the past — like that of a group of Italian tourists coming to India on February 21, when Italy was not in the list of countries that were being screened at our airports,” Union health minister Harsh Vardhan said.

“At a high-level meeting that I held with various stakeholders (on Wednesday), it was decided to extend the universal screening to all international flights, and not just 12 countries,” he added.
