South Africans who played in the Indian IPL series will be ordered to go straight into quarantine when they land in South Africa.
The 2021 series has been abandoned with Covid-19 infections in India sky-rocketing.
Cricket South Africa (CSA)has said that putting a halt to the tournament was a good decision.
“South African players and support staff travelling back to South Africa will undergo home quarantine in line with the current World Health Organization’s recommendations,” read the CSA statement.
Faf du Plessis, Quinton de Kock and Kagiso Rabada are among other South African cricket stars plying their trade in the IPL.
CSA and the South African Cricketers Association are also to be in contact with all the players and have assured fellow South Africans of their safety and comfort on their return to their respective locations.
“CSA wishes to extend its well wishes and support to the people of India and the Board of Control for Cricket in India and thank the board for keeping our players safe during this challenging time,” the CSA said.
