The
detection

and
cast
a
shadow
on

confirm
that
all

take
place
between

been
postponed,”
the
board
said
in
a
statement.
“The

is
not
being
held
in
a
Bio-Secure
Environment
(BSE)
and
in
the
last
couple
of
days,
some
positive
COVID-19
test
results
have
emerged
following
team
pre-arrival
testing
sessions.
“Activating
the
precautionary
and
preventative
measures
stipulated
in
the
organisation’s
COVID-19
protocols
to
ensure
the
health,
safety
and
well-being
of
all
involved
is
a
top
priority
for
CSA.”
The
India
series,
if
it
takes
place,
will
be
held
in
a
strict
bio-secure
environment.
“CSA
is
monitoring
the
situation
closely
and
a
decision
regarding
the
remainder
of
the
fixtures
this
year
will
be
made
in
due
course
as
it
develops.
“In
addition,
the
CSA

and
1-Day

featuring
Northerns
and
Easterns
set
for
the
same
weekend
have
also
been

until

the
