India ‘A’ team will take on South Africa ‘A’ in the second unofficial Test from today in Bloemfontein. Team India is presently confined in a bio-bubble. The first four-day game ended in a draw due to inclement weather on Friday last week even as the detection of COVID-19 variant, which was named Omicron by the World Health Organisation, forced many countries to impose international travel restrictions on South Africa.
The uncertain situation also led to the Netherlands abandoning their last two ODIs against South Africa which were scheduled in Johannesburg.
However, India ‘A’ have stayed put in Bloemfontein inside a bio-bubble. The matches are being played without spectators and the India senior team is also due to arrive in the country by 9th of December for a nearly seven-week assignment starting from 17th of December.
If the situation deteriorates, it can jeopardise the tour which involves three Tests, three ODIs and four T20Is across four venues –Johannesburg, Centurion, Paarl and Cape Town.
