Postponed game concerns England and rightfully so, says doctor

SOUTH AFRICA’S team doctor says England have rightful concerns about the safety of the bio-secure bubble they are in with the Proteas after a member of the home team tested positive for coronavirus.

A three-game one-day international series between the sides was meant to kick off at Newlands on Friday, fresh from a hat-trick of Twenty20s, but the opener was postponed at the last minute after the positive results.

Given the security surrounding the bubble, it remains unknown how the positive results have been returned, but Dr Shuaib Manjra says England’s worries are valid.
