I think the rest of the tour should/Will be called off now
England's tour of South Africa has been abandoned after a number of a positive coronavirus tests.
A South Africa player and two members of hotel staff tested positive, while England say two members of their party returned "unconfirmed positive tests".
A three-match Twenty20 series was completed, but a three-match one-day series has been postponed.
A statement said the tour was called off to "ensure the mental and physical health and welfare of players".
Bairstow and Tom Curran have followed Banton's lead of pulling out of the BBL. Not a surprise given the amount of time these guys have spent in their bubbles and that Australia would demand that they quarantine for 14 days on arrival
England will tour India early next year and play a day night Test at the new ground, the first international played thereA shame to play at the world's largest ground in front of no fans though! Not that they'd get 110,000 in for a Test match anyway

I imagine there will be inquest to find out how Covid got into the bubble...
The players were staying in a hotel, not based at the ground (unlike in England).
Here's hoping 2021 will be a lot better.

There was still a bubble, even if it wasn't as super strict as we had last summer

Not England related, but India collapsed to their lowest EVER test score, 36 all out as they lost the 1st Test in Australia.
