Even as the number of coronavirus cases is on the rise in Centurion, where the 3 Team Cricket (3TC) will be played in South Africa, Cricket South Africa (CSA) has confirmed that the exhibition match will go ahead on the 18th of July as planned.
The match, considered as the return of South African players to professional cricket was earlier supposed to be held on 27th June but was postponed as the organizers failed to get government clearance.
The match will now be played at Centurion behind closed doors. Centurion is in Gauteng area which is an epicentre for the Covid-19 according to the World Health Organization (WHO). If there is a change plan of the hosting at Centurion, Skukuza and Potchefstroom are the alternatives.
The organizers have rushed the 3 Team Cricket (3TC) so that they raise as much as $178K for the financial losses that the cricketing fraternity has suffered due to the lockdown in South Africa.
