South Africa drops ODI series with Australia

SOUTH AFRICA: Cricket Australia (CA) was unable to meet South Africa’s request to postpone the January one-day international series against Australia.

This series had been set for Hobart (Jan. 12), Sydney (Jan. 14), and Perth in January, however Cricket South Africa requested that it be moved (Jan. 17).

There are no other dates available, CA stated in a statement on Wednesday, because of the busy international schedule, which includes the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

As long as the International Cricket Council approves, South Africa agreed to award the points to Australia.

This might have an impact on South Africa’s chances of qualifying for the one-day World Cup in India next year.
