Indian Cricket Team Zimbabwe tour comprising three ODIs starting August 22 this year has been cancelled due to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced.
Earlier, Team India was originally scheduled to travel to the island nation from June 24 for three ODIs and as many T20Is which was deferred owing to threat of cronavirus.
"As stated in the earlier press release issued on May 17, the BCCI will conduct a camp for its contracted players only when it is completely safe to train outdoors. The BCCI is determined to take steps towards the resumption of international and domestic cricket, but it will not rush into any decision that will jeopardize the efforts put in by the Central and State governments and several other respective agencies in containing the spread of the coronavirus.
"The Office-Bearers have been taking note of advisories issued by the Government of India and the Board is committed to fully comply with the restrictions imposed and guidelines issued. The BCCI will continue to study and evaluate the changing situation."(UNI)
