India’s tour of SA to go ahead without T20s

CAPE TOWN: India will tour South Africa for three Tests and three ODIs starting on Dec 26, but have postponed four T20 Internationals to a later date, Cricket South Africa (CSA) confirmed on Saturday.

The tourists will arrive in the country a week later than originally scheduled and start with the Boxing Day Test, with two more five-day fixtures to be played in January.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the later start on Saturday following their Annual General Meeting. The series was originally set to begin on Dec 17.

No reasons for cutting the T20s have been given, but it is likely to do with the later start of the Test series, which pushes the whole tour schedule out by a week.
