BCCI secretary Jay Shah has confirmed that India’s tour of South Africa will go ahead.

However, only the three Tests and three ODIs will take place on this tour, with the four-match T20I series postponed.

“BCCI has confirmed to CSA that the Indian team will travel for three Tests and three ODIs. The remaining four T20Is will be played at a later date,” Shah told ANI.

The tour, which is scheduled to start with the first Test at the Wanderers on 17 December, had been in doubt due to the emergence of the new Covid-19 variant Omicron.

1st Test – 17-21 December, Wanderers, Johannesburg
2nd Test – 26-30 December, SuperSport Park, Centurion
3rd Test – 3-7 January, Newlands, Cape Town
