CHENNAI, Aug 11: In view of the illness of 10 South African players, the schedule of the cricket tri-series has been reworked with the South Africa A and Australia A match to be held tomorrow, while the final league game will be played on August 13 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here.
The rescheduling was done at the last moment as Media Officer of the BCCI in Southern India Dr Baba informed about the changes and confirmed that the final would happen on August 14, a day after the India A-South Africa A clash.
�All the South African players since having been discharged from hospital requested for one day�s rest tomorrow,� read Dr Baba�s WhatsApp message yesterday. Later Dr Baba told PTI that extending a day�s rest today was based on the South African team�s request as all 10 Proteas players were discharged around noon yesterday.
The changes in match schedule would mean that today, instead of August 13, would be a �rest day� and there would be no cricket activity in respect of the tri-series.
South Africa A�s one-day match against Australia A, who have already booked their final berth, has been postponed for the second time. � PTI
